LOVE WHAT WE MAKE
I'm a product designer who strives for business design from business strategy to user experience. In recent years, I've been working on experience of digital devices and web services by user-centered process which inspires us a lot in finding user insights for problem-solving. Currently I'm working for ASUS IoT strategy and engaging to build up working process with Singapore team.
In my life, I've been leading the service team at Taiwan Magic Development Association (TMA) since 2011. In my belief, design process is like practical magic that is full of possibilities between attention and inattention. On the other hand, my adventurous character encouraged me to start an online business during 2007 and 2009. I was also a qualified blogger in 2008 BlogAward final.

MAIN PROJECTS
GENUINE ENERGY COMPANY / Illumination Bricks
1 YEAR 5 MONTHS
The bricks can be installed on the roof to collect sunlight, with the outer smooth flat to take in sunlight and the inner flat serving as a concentrator of prismatic reflective structure to concentrate incoming light beams to be coupled and fed into plastic fiber optic pipe for transmission. The coupled light beams will then be released through light release board to provide indoor lighting.
Illumination brick is able to collect 10% of sunlight and a ping (about 36 square feet) of illumin-bricks should be able to provide enough light for a room of 10 pings. The "plants and light" exhibition area of Expo's Pavilion of Future is currently using the illumin-brick technology.
