I've been in the interior design industry for over a decade, continuing to pursue perfection and improvements for the past few years. During this period of time, I've won international awards from South Korea, France, China, etc. In the near future, I want to continue improving my craft so as to become a better version of myself.
When I was 25 and working in a department store, I found myself being attracted to the renovations done in the mall itself.
I work as a designer in Tao Yuan City, Taiwan, where the speciality in the region is interior design. I am also in charge of management in the company as well.
Human nature.
Minimalist designs, because I'm a simple person and that reflects into the things I design as well.
A design is always catered to the human's character, so a good design is one that meshes well with the owner.
Each home has its history and beginnings. This is a private living residence in the urban region of Taoyuan, where an entrepreneurial couple lives. This couple enjoys the simplicity and feeling of ancient humanity. The hostess hoped to have a functional kitchen that can be both open and closed . Therefore, the kitchen is designed to blend the vintage and peaceful atmosphere with a hint of entrepreneurial ambition as per their requirement. From design to completion, this original work reflected every detail that was communicated with the owners.
We have created a leisure space that meets the owner's expectations. In a constrained space, the capacity and shockproof capacities are particularly improved such that the owner can have enough space to store books, gifts, and family items. The intercoms and electric boxes at the entrance are integrated into the overall style.
Taiwan may not have many natural resources, but we are allowed to freely express our creativity, which allows me to search for ideas and information in unlimited ways.
Certainly. This award is an affirmation to what I can do, and that will just motivate us to keep working harder to design even better interiors.
MUSE is an internationally renowned and credible awards competition. We've won two awards in our 1st year participating, so we would like to thank the jury panel for supporting our work.
The height of the house presented a challenge for us because the structure forms several conflict zones; however, we ensured to maintain the space in a relaxed and comfortable way by constructing it close to the floor .
I will continue to promote the MUSE Awards on our website.
Free creative expressions, knowledge about architecture in general and the exploration of human nature.
In the future, creative interior design will become mainstream, opening to an era full of different influences and styles.
Don't give up! Always work for your dream, and then push yourself!
I recommend reading physical interior design books, because the information found in the Internet are always chaotic and busy, thus making it hard for you to decide on something.
Design is always about finding inspiration constantly, where you might even forget to eat or sleep. God will always give you a path to tread on.
Even the smallest details in my life can give me the inspiration.
Winning is about struggle, effort and optimism, and never, ever giving up.
No.
