Liyi<\/strong>: As a child, I enjoyed painting, and during college, I developed an admiration for the renowned designer Kenya Hara. Design is a discipline filled with creativity and endless possibilities. Through design, I can solve practical problems in life using various approaches, which not only makes people’s lives happier but also brings me great satisfaction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yijuan<\/strong>: The passion for solving problems and curiosity about diverse knowledge are key motivators. A designer is someone who magically combines different skills to work out a solution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chenwei<\/strong>: I became a game designer because I\u2019m fascinated by the impact games can have; they\u2019re powerful tools for interaction and expression.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shurong<\/strong>: When I was working on a Minesweeper assignment in my first year of university, I realized I loved creating things that interact with people.

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

Q4. What does \u201cdesign\u201d mean to you?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yijuan<\/strong>: It means combining existing technologies to build a new solution that can make the world better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chenwei<\/strong>: Design means transforming ideas into visual and interactive forms, creating emotional connections, and facilitating communication.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
