I am a relatively introverted person who tends to express myself through observation and design rather than words. I enjoy taking time to notice details in everyday life and transforming those impressions into creative work. This quiet way of thinking allows me to develop ideas that are personal, reflective, and meaningful. I have a strong interest in basketball and streetwear culture, both of which have greatly influenced my aesthetic and design direction. The energy, structure, and visual language found in sports and fashion inspire me to explore the relationship between movement and form, as well as function and identity. These influences are often reflected in my work, where I aim to create designs that are both expressive and practical. I grew up in a loving and supportive family, and their encouragement has given me the confidence to pursue my creative interests. This environment has shaped my perspective on design, allowing me to approach my work with sincerity and emotional awareness. In my design practice, I focus on translating personal experiences into tangible objects. I am particularly interested in how time, memory, and use can be embedded into design, creating pieces that carry both functional and emotional value. 我是一個個性較為內向的人，習慣透過觀察與創作來表達自己。平時熱愛籃球與潮流文化，這些元素也深深影響了我的設計風格，使我特別關注運動與日常之間的連結。我成長於一個充滿關愛的家庭，家人的支持與陪伴，讓我能夠安心地探索自己的興趣與方向，也成為我持續創作的重要力量。在設計上，我傾向從生活經驗出發，將個人情感與觀察轉化為作品，並嘗試在造型之外，賦予設計更多關於記憶與價值的意義。

Traces Reborn 痕跡重生

I own many pairs of sneakers, but over time they have gradually been left unused. This led me to reflect on how design could extend the life of these objects, allowing them to continue in a new form rather than being discarded. My childhood experience of participating in marathons left a strong impression on me, especially the streamlined aesthetics of running shoes, which became a key inspiration for this project. I am particularly drawn to white leather sneakers. The creases and stains that develop through use are not seen as damage in my perspective, but as traces of time and personal memories. From a sustainability perspective, I believe the true value of design is not only about material reuse, but also about encouraging longer use and emotional attachment to objects. Therefore, this project translates sneaker elements into a bag design while preserving the presence of “wear and traces,” allowing the product to accumulate stories and emotional value over time. Through this transformation, the design not only extends the lifecycle of the object, but also reduces waste caused by rapid consumption, responding to the concept of longevity and emotional durability in sustainable design. 我擁有很多雙運動鞋，但隨著時間的推移，它們逐漸被閒置。這讓我開始思考，設計如何延長這些物品的壽命，讓它們以新的形式延續下去，而不是被丟棄。我童年參加馬拉鬆的經歷給我留下了深刻的印象，尤其是跑鞋的流線型設計，這成為了我這個專案的主要靈感來源。我尤其鍾愛白色皮質運動鞋。在我看來，使用過程中產生的褶皺和污漬並非損壞，而是時間的痕跡和個人記憶的印記。從永續發展的角度來看，我認為設計的真正價值不僅在於材料的再利用，更在於鼓勵人們延長物品的使用時間，並建立對物品的情感依附。因此，這個項目將運動鞋的元素融入包款設計，同時保留了“磨損痕跡”，讓產品隨著時間的推移積累故事和情感價值。透過這種轉變，該設計不僅延長了物品的使用壽命，而且減少了快速消費造成的浪費，符合永續設計中持久性和情感耐久性的概念。
