Q1. Please give us a brief bio of yourself and your design background.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n


My name is Jung-Mei Wou, an artist with nearly two decades of experience in fine arts. After completing my studies in the UK, I returned to my home country and began teaching as an adjunct assistant professor at the National Taiwan University of Science and Technology, where I shared my expertise in art and design.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2011, I founded my studio, embarking on a journey through various artistic disciplines such as visual arts, photography, sculpture, public art, and installation art. My work is cherished by private collectors, and I’ve also been commissioned for public art projects by national institutions. Honored with international awards, I’m devoted to advancing artistic expression.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q2. What does \u201cdesign\u201d mean to you?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Art became my voice to express emotions and perceptions, connecting deeply with others. Pursuing design allowed me to explore the interplay of aesthetics and functionality, expanding my creative boundaries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q3. What’s your favorite kind of design and why?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I run an art studio specializing in sculpture and installation art. My role spans from conceptualizing designs to overseeing their realization, often collaborating with skilled craftsmen and engaging in public art commissions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q5. To you, what makes a ‘good’ design?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Design is a narrative, an emotion, and an immersive experience. It’s about transforming concepts into tangible forms that resonate with viewers, bridging art with everyday life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q5. Describe your design style and its main characteristics.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’m drawn to public art because it engages communities and transforms spaces. It merges artistic expression with civic impact, leaving lasting impressions on urban environments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
