About Other Design Pursuits
-
These are the highlights of the design work I have done in the past.
-
It would be great to show them as one page instead of 500+ case studies.
A Tape and a Magazine
I like to see objects from a different perspective, use items around me and put them on the table, reorganise it and come up with a new idea with a new story.

Pens and Papers
A good idea is always from a lot of sketches and experiments.

Visualising the
Experience
I prefer to use mapping and diagrams to record my design process.

Red, Yellow and Green
The technical blueprint shouldn`t always be black and white, illustration and colour can bring more hierarchy to the drawing.

Models and Renders
Both digital models and render walkthroughs help stakeholders understand your design.
Image: Which city is this? The city of Sydney!
Wires and Umbrellas
A physical model can make people feel the experience of the space.
Image: I think timber and cardboard models are boring. Why not use a recycled umbrella, lights and copper wires? ( I was making a community hub for local artists).
3D Views and Printers
Sometimes new technology could improve the quality of the space detail.

VR
I follow new technology to add value to my design and find another possibility to solve the problem.

Tools and Machine
Another way to show space and people`s experience is from a precise model.
Image: was cutting the city of Rome by computer numerical control (CNC) machine as a part of city planning research.
Lighting and Exhibition
I use all kinds of mediums to tell a story about my design.

Collaboration and
Teamwork
I believe teamwork combines the individual efforts of all team members to achieve a goal.
Image: to use recycled plywood (6mm to 15mm and create a beautiful sculpture by the sea (led by Dave Pigram, Iain Maxwell).
Share and Giveback
I like to share what I learned to giveback to our community.

I design for users
It`s always exciting to see your work coming to life.
