Professional Background

I am an industrial product designer who combines design education and practice and is active in both academic and professional fields. I work as a department head and associate professor at a university, developing social benefit-oriented projects such as sustainability, disaster housing and disadvantaged groups. I work with interdisciplinary teams, prepare content that will inspire my students and encourage them to think innovatively. I have won design awards, conducted academic research, and prioritised quality and accessibility in education. My approach that blends creativity, the ability to produce solutions and social sensitivity makes me interesting.
