YUAN-LING GUAN
Ling Tung University
I am a student at Ling Tung University, majoring in Creative Product Design. I hold professional certifications in Adobe Photoshop (Level C) and SolidWorks (CSWP). In 2025, I participated in the Universal Design Competition and was honored with an Award of Merit.
As someone who wasn’t very confident, I initially felt anxious and overwhelmed when my work was first selected. However, through repeated discussions with my professors and continuous refinements of my presentation, I gained invaluable skills in layout design, technical writing, and public speaking. This experience not only earned me the award but also built my courage. I am incredibly proud of myself for reaching this milestone and gaining a broader perspective on design.
In this current competition, I want to challenge myself to step out of my comfort zone. Although I am working with unfamiliar materials for the first time, I have conducted extensive research to ensure that my design is both aesthetically pleasing and commercially viable.
