I am a brand designer from China, an ancient country with a 5,000-year history and culture. The artistic aesthetics and spirit of Chinese culture provide me with endless inspiration for my design work, from which I draw rich nourishment.
I love traveling and have visited Europe, Africa, America, and Asia, exploring famous buildings, art galleries, museums, exhibitions, and more. Appreciating these artworks has broadened my artistic vision and expanded my aesthetic thinking. My design work focuses on spirit and philosophy, aesthetics and functionality, as well as practicality.
I am now fortunate to be a student at the Holy Mountain Buddhism Institute. The teachings of Buddhism have clarified my mind and enhanced my design inspiration. Inspiration bursts forth in an instant, making it enjoyable to complete surprising design projects.
The success of brand design presentation largely stems from a deep understanding of the brand's positioning, philosophy, culture, and spirit—these invisible aspects. I believe that focusing on the invisible elements allows us to better accomplish the visible aspects.
Therefore, I prefer to spend time understanding, learning about, and organizing the foundational work of the brand.
Our client, "Shuyu," is a company dedicated to providing high-quality wellness experiences to consumers through a human-centered approach, high-quality medicinal materials, and natural therapies.
At the same time, the company places a strong emphasis on environmental protection and sustainable development, striving to minimize its impact on the environment and actively fulfilling social responsibilities. "Aizhi Chen" is a high-end health product meticulously developed by Shuyu that integrates mugwort and agarwood.
The company’s meticulous brand spirit and commitment to social responsibility greatly attract me, and I admire it very much. Therefore, we are also willing to support its business development.
"Aizhi Chen" is a product that requires effective moisture-proof treatment. The usual method is plastic sealing. However, its brand philosophy is green and environmentally friendly, and it does not wish to use plastic.
This created a contradiction in the design. Fortunately, through continuous effort, I found a type of moisture-proof and waterproof wax paper, cleverly resolving this issue.
The emergence and development of AI have made the future of the design industry full of unpredictability. However, one thing is certain: human wisdom is a core element that AI cannot surpass.
Therefore, practicing Zen wisdom is the way out for various industries.
