I’m the director of Donlin Interior Design. I have been in this field for over thirty years. I will describe myself as a passionate life practitioner, an artist and an extreme sportsman. I love to cook, paint, and to go surfing in the ocean. To me, life is full of excitement and it can be both energetic and exquisite just like interior designs. Luckily, I have won several IF Design Award, Red Dot Awards, A’Design Award, London Design Awards, AIA Awards, and Singapore Interior Design Awards, and TID Awards. By participating in International design competitions, I would like to have conversations with the world, through my design works.

I remember that I have always been aware of the the “sense of space” since I was little. Space configuration is particularly important to a country with small spaces and high urban density such as Taiwan. I enjoy the challenge of using interior design to accentuate an unique feeling of designs within limited spaces.

Most of our works are focusing on residential, detached houses, offices and any kind of interior design.

For me, interior design or any kind of design is part of our life, and they are unbreakable. A functional design can make your life easier; on the other hand, an aesthetic design can deliver a more elegant life. In other words, I believe that design is to make people’s lives more decent.

I wouldn't say that I 'prefer' any specific style. As I mentioned in the previous question that life and design are related. Each design should consider what it needs during different circumstances. For example, every customers personality are different, the spaces I am given are different, etc. Finding the best way to suit all these elements is the most important , meanwhile hardest, thing to do.

I think a good design is not just about the appearance, but also about convenience and practicality. I like things that are more minimal and simpler, sometimes 'Less is more'.

Same as question 5, I think the signature of my design is that they are designed based on each customer’s interests, cultural background and their lifestyle.

Imagination, site plan, recording, review, and reconfiguration.

I am a firm believer in freedom and an enthusiastic attitude. Ordinary yet lively lifestyle brings energy into my creations.

It is an honer to me and my team. It will surely be a good experience that we will all remember.

This work was completed just in time for the 2020 MUSE Awards.

The costumer is an immigrant from Japan. The biggest challenge is to combine the elegancy of traditional Japanese style with modern design elements. We did a lot of research and putted in a lot of efforts in this project trying to innovate and present the modern Japanese living space to the costumer.

To me, it is only the beginning of learning. It is a great starting point for me to continue working, and hopefully create more exciting works.

Flexible, challenging, and interactive.

Enlightened attitude, passion, and great execution.

As technologies are growing faster nowadays, I think AI technology will take over some operational details. But 'ideas' will always be irreplaceable.

Learn from others’ works, strive yourself to be better. Always keep in mind that we never stop learning new things. Think and try to innovate your own ideas and cultivate your acuity perception of aesthetic awareness in designing spaces.

Try new materials. For instance, sustainable materials, even air or water reuse systems etc.i think it's very important to keep up with how the world is gaining more and more awareness towards protecting the environment. Our technologies are progressing, how could we design with out taking advantages from the environment?

Even though people might see me as a person who is very carefree, but the truth is I have always been working about my future design projects.

When I ran out of ideas, I would find a way to relax. I would drive my way down to the beach and dump myself into the ocean. For me, back to basics is the only way to help me find back my free and untamed soul.

I wouldn’t use the word “successful” to define the works I've done. I would say I'm still on my way to success because there are still a lot of things that I need to learn.

Stay optimistic and prepare yourself to get ready for tomorrow.
