I am an industrial designer with over ten years of experience, specializing in form development and aesthetic design. My background in product design has shaped my ability to translate functional concepts into expressive visual forms, which I now extend into fashion design. My work focuses on the integration of technology, sustainability, and human-centered design. In recent years, I have explored the application of AI-assisted design tools to generate innovative forms, materials, and concepts, creating a new dialogue between digital processes and physical products. Coming from a cross-disciplinary perspective, I approach fashion not only as wearable design, but as a medium for storytelling and future lifestyle exploration. My design philosophy emphasizes simplicity, structure, and emotional connection, aiming to create pieces that are both visually striking and meaningful. Through this competition, I hope to present a design that reflects the fusion of industrial design thinking and fashion innovation, while exploring new possibilities in sustainable and AI-driven creative processes.

It retains the unibody silhouette of the inexpensive red plastic chairs commonly found in Taiwan. It features an embedded oxblood red leather cushion and is made entirely of cowhide. The warm texture of the leather and the hand-stitched details create a layered contrast, with "plastic as the skeleton and leather as the garment."

A genuine leather tea tray set (can be paired with a teapot mat or coaster). The main body is approximately 68% genuine leather, with a simple organic curved embossed pattern creating a "symbiotic" design, combining minimalist aesthetics with natural leather texture. The tray surface undergoes a special treatment to enhance its waterproof and heat-resistant properties; the genuine leather provides a warm touch and long-term care value. "This craftwork embodies the spirit of Taiwanese tea ceremony, using genuine cowhide as its core to create a tranquil space for daily rituals. Through the enduring beauty and practical innovation of genuine leather, it promotes the value of a slow-living lifestyle, making a single craft a long-lasting companion and a choice that reduces waste."

Magnetic Puzzle is a modular bag system that fights fast fashion through adaptability and repairability. The system consists of multiple standardized leather modules – phone pouch, wallet, passport holder, cosmetic case, etc. Modules connect via hidden neodymium magnets and brass snap buttons, allowing users to assemble a tote, shoulder bag, or travel pouch in seconds – no tools needed. No more buying separate bags for different occasions. When a single module wears out, replace only that module, not the entire bag. Each module is crafted from vegetable‑tanned cowhide with cotton lining, brass hardware, and waxed thread. Magnetic Puzzle transforms a single purchase into a lifelong, expandable ecosystem – reducing waste one module at a time.

The most frequently worn parts of the shoe (toe, heel, and midfoot) are designed with "elegantly replaceable" modules. Design Directions: Magnetic Toe Cap: The toe cap is secured magnetically or with tenons, allowing for replacement with different colors/materials after wear, like changing a tie to change your style. Threaded Heel: The heel doesn't use nails but is screwed in thread, allowing users to replace it themselves and extending its lifespan to decades. Removable Upper: A double-layer upper design; the outer layer can be peeled off after wear to reveal a pre-colored leather layer underneath.

Dual Truth — The restraint of off- leather exterior dialogues with the passion of vegetable-tanned interior. The suspended heel structure externalizes supportive mechanics, challenging conventional leather footwear vocabulary. Two genuine leathers create a dual temporal experience: the exterior develops personal patina over years, while the interior reveals intimate orange surprises with every wear. Modular heel design extends lifespan; adhesive-free construction ensures repairability. This is not about loud difference, but the wisdom of choosing when, to whom, and which layer of self to reveal. Stay Different is inner conviction, not outer noise.
