BRIEF INTRODUCTION
Chia-Hsiu is passionate on exploring �Human�, including how people act, how people think and also how to transfer the needs to a better design. Driven by her enthusiasm and curiosity, she has bachelor degrees of Business Administration and Psychology for. Following the academic background and interests, she is studying Industrial Design for master degree. She aims to become a multidisciplinary specialist, who works on combining the core values from different professions. Her goal is to become a practical researcher on observing and planning the strategies based on design perspective for various organizations to individuals. This portfolio is organized with three chapters, which are Ocean, Sun and Mountain. The ocean expresses the wide and systemic range of design, from product to user experience and service design research. The sun explains the innovation in design discipline. Using processing program as prototyping tool is the first step to vivid realizing design through technology. Lastly, mountain represents the height that design can be. Design can not only brings us to innovation, design can also bring us to stand on the giants shoulder to use the past knowledge and think for the future.

elderly with the other stakeholders in their eating process and experience the food producing process of the food company providing their meals. With introducing Talki Talkie to the caring home for the elderly, we gain the insights of the elderly that they require a platform to transfer their opinion and look forward to the feedback.
DESIGN BACKFROUND & CHALLENGE The rise of aging population and the lower Quality of Life (QOL) In addition, the number of elderly in long-term care facilities with increased dependency on caring sta is expected to rise, due to more complex health needs (Hasson & Arnetz, 2008). Because of these changing working conditions, caring sta in nursing homes experience high workload and increased stress levels (Kennedy, 2005) . This results in decreased caring quality having consequences for the elderly s QOL.
OBSERVATIONS & INTERVIEWS
Aging population is a phenomenon occurring all over the world. The amount of older adults over 65 years old in the Netherlands is expected to be around 4,6 million in the year 2040 (PBL, 2013). This rise concerns the caregiving industry and the elderly s daily quality of life (QoL).Therefore, research emphasizes on healthy aging amongst older adults (Peel, McClure & Bartlett, 2005). 11
Observations in nursing home envionrments, including living rooms and the public spaces.
STAKEHOLDER MAPS Empowering the elderly through choose their own food and gain the authority A variety of eating problems amongst older adults is one of the causes for the elderly s greater dependency on caring staff. Aging affects the older adult s eating patterns and ability to eat.In order to provide quality of care, empowering care has been researched beneficial, making sure older adults keep in control of their lives and so increase their QOL (Tu, Wang, & Yeh, 2006). In this way one of the challenges for designers is to increase elderly s authority to decide what to eat which is of major importance in order to positively influence their healthy eating behavior (China Network of Clinical Nutrition, 2018).

Improving the communication of the residents with the other stakeholders in their healthy eating process in a nursing home by empowering them a platform to choose, involve and let their voices be heard.
Main insights out of the user ow is there were multiple activities for design intervention, meaning that this intervention could be a product-service system connecting their pain points.

Important stakeholders to research are both caretakers and elderly, still unsure about family. The potential pain points are shown in the graphic above. After validation by observations, interviews and co-reflection workshop with caregivers, chef and a speech therapist, we changed the user flow into a user journey map to have a more clear overview of the older adult s experience, how this changes during the eating process and where to improve. From these validations the focus shifted towards choosing and preparation of the hot meals.

After validation, new concepts were made implementing voice recognition, sound playback (talking function), physicality and personalized context. Iteratively, 4 concepts for voice agents were created, a playful choosing cube with personal talking cone; a personal choosing flower; abstract human-like agent and finally voice agent Talki Talkie.
Produc : Talki Talkie
Notification and picking up
Talki Talkie is the evolution out of previous concepts from both phases. It is a personal voice agent situated in the personal rooms of the elderly residents (55-85 years old) living in long-term facilitation in nursing homes. Goals for the design are to make their opinion heard to all involved stakeholders as caretakers and food company; and to directly couple back stakeholder feedback to the residents. Furthermore, to increase trust towards the overall eating process and therefore the design offers information in the form of notifications about the food company s food producing process phases. When validating what the shape of this personal object should be it was found the residents did not care so much.
Talki Talkie gives information about the various phases in the food producing process of the food company with a slowly breathing light ring. In order to prevent a disruptive daily life experience, residents can choose on their own to pick it up to listen to its notification and so a more passive interaction was created. When picked, the light stops breathing, indicating it is playing the message, when put down, light goes out till a new phase starts or it is time to choose.
Sound Playback and Voice Recognition

The design works with spoken feedback to inform and guide the users through the choosing process of next meals and record the opinion.

During concept developing, we generated many different kinds of idea. One of them is that we could conerct different stores near the community. Thus, more people can benefit by this service design. Furthermore, we would like to even expand the area to whole city. By this way, the service can have bigger influence amount citizens.However, because of the limitation from the course, which includes time and finance problem, we can only develop part of the project. If there is further chance, I would like to create a larger and more complete project.

Draw out your creativity during the showering
Category ¦ Daily Necessities Date ¦ 2017 Output ¦ Functional Portotype
During taking shower, people like to contemplate, think or relax. Taking shower is an important moment for most of people. However, when they are thinking over,
there is no things for them to write down. The curtain, Drop, can help showering people to generate the idea or simply make more fun for people during showering. 33
Water Writing Paper (水寫紙) is normally used as practicing calligraphy. While I was wondering how is it possible to write in the bathroom, such a humid and watery place. This paper suddenly came to my mind. The following introduction will introduce the experimental process of testing different material of water writing paper to see what may happen.
34
Ideation
To generate an idea of innovating the exist product, the first thing comes to my mind is something related to take shower or bath. I am someone, who like to reflect from the day during showering. Bathing time for me is a very private and self moment. Some of people even take it as a ritual. We can come up with many creative ideas. Unfortunately, the consciouness flows through quickyly with water. After the showering, everything goes away as well. Thus, the product is created for both users wanting to record the thoughts also taking shower as playful moment with children.

The philosophy of DROP is to bring happiness and interesting ideas for customers. The shape of the logo is inspired by the shape of real drop. The identity of logo also tries to design in round shap which can commute wisdom concept. In chinese culture, people believe water represents wisdom. As a result, we use drops as our main element for logo design. However, in oder to simplďŹ e the logo, I melt drop image into words, drop as logo. Two colors are refered to calm and water, also happiness.

Interactive story lamp for children and parents Category ¦ Lighting Date ¦ 2017 Output ¦ Functional Portotype Material ¦ Wood, Arduino, Cardbroad
In the society today, parents get less time to accompny their children. According to the research, 20% of parents
spend no time at all reading with their primary school aged children; 54% of parents spends less than an hour a week reading to their kids. Since reading to children activates various function of children, American Academic Pediatrics strongly suggests that parents should read to children. This project, Ruhig Lamp, wants to cultivate the habbits between parents and children. Firstly, the lamp box consists four paragarph of a story and becomes a short story. Also, parents can tell the stories by different volumns, which will change the brightness of the light. Secondly, children and parents can cooperte together to play shadow game. In addition, there are various colors of light. Due to different content of the stories, the light will change steadily. 41

Ideation
Initial Ideas
In the beginning, I came up with an idea to create something for children. I was thinking through all day schedule during my childhood. The bedtime of listening stories from records inspiring me a lot. In addition, I built up very strong connection with my sibilings during the time we listened the stories together. Thus, I believe the power of storytelling, especially in the childhood period. These are my first thought of creating this work.
Current Research
After doing more research,I found to tell story in the bed time really help the development of children. From cognitive, motor, creativity , to speech and communication development, by talking and interacting with parents is able to help children graw up benefitting from various perspectives. To be more specific, firstly, with reading loudly, children have higher possibility to have school scuccess. Secondly, young children may amplify the language they hear more than just talking
43
Telling story is also similar to a kind of performance. How do I want to present the performance ?There are several ways of telling the stories, such as listening to the radio, talking by parents, creating stories with intimate people. All of above include some common features. Firstly, there is sound. Secondly, people tell story . Following the two directions, how can they both interact and play with the stories vividly? Before sleeping, parents normally leave some weak light for children. Under the light, it will be the best moment for them to have fun together. By using the skill of paper cutting, I tried to use the light to show the shadow. As a result, parents and children play not only with the box, but interactive with the shadow.
Prototyp to try the size and the effect of light At first, I designed four layers of wood, since more levels can create different strong effect of the light. Hoever, after testing, the effect of shadow projecting was not as good as look on the product self. I used different materiasl of paper to lazer the frame as well as make the holes and the empty place for the light to go through. The inner layer of the paper is thinner, which will help the light go through; in the contrast, the outside paper is thicker, which seems like a frame for the whole box.
44
Connecting devices with Arduino The lamp has several functions working by Arduino. Firstly, the touch bar. By touching the touch bar, light will change the color. With trying to work approprately, I tried many methods to make the screen work smoothly. Also, I use microphone to take the sound from the user. I also tried various types of micrphones. Fianlly, the one in the product is the best for accepting the sounds.

Initial Ideas We all get worried, nervous, or stressed out from time to time. Anxiety is a general human experience. , Dr. Gassiday said. When people has been feeling anxious and worried for more than months, and if their symptoms are causing the diďŹƒculties on sleeping, studying, working, or other living parts. Everyone knows to use tips, tricks, and techniques to get calm their nerves down. There is a good news reported by the neuroscientist: make a playlist of the 10 songs found to be the most relaxing on earth. The study found 65% of participants can reduce overall anxiety by listening to the song; and 35% of them can reduce the usual physiological resting rates.

Our values affect the way we think the partners we choose and ultimately the results we are getting in life. The main benefit of knowing
and understanding our core values is to improve the results we are getting in those areas that are truly most important to us. We can use them as a reliable navigation system for our life moving closer to the values that best serve us, and away from the ones that are not serving us so well. When we know our core values, the task of setting goals that intuitively resonate becomes a lot easier. This game is designed for people to experience whole life in a short time. Since a good way to understand yourself could be learning in different
phases of life, I decide to use the concept of reading a novel to let the player experiecne the uncertainty and unpredictable life.There are seven core values in your life, so players can pick up the values they believe to see what may happen in this choice. 59
Initiation of the Idea In the beginning of the project, I want to apply proceesing program on exploring ourself, which may be related to our emotion, our belief in life or how do we perceive ourself in daily life. I have explored the topic from Stree , Self , to Life . Finally, I found that to understand how may your life go is the can be the first step for everyone to start an exploration about yourslef. Ultimately, understanding our values helps us make choices, goals and decisions that are best suited for our personal success and happiness. I believe, we should frequently ask ourselves what things are important to us and we should live our lives according to those things.
Story Development
You cannot connect the dots looking forwaed , you can only
connect them looking backwards. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future.
--- Steve Jobs
Then I start to think how can I let people experience and think deeper about their life meaning in short time. What came to my mind is the experience of reading a novel. A good novel always can let a reader immerse into the emotion, which created by writer intentionally. After reading the story, the reader will feel she finished a new journey of life. Then, she will start to think deeper about what the writer want to say. So, in this project, I want to design an interavtive game with players. Through the process, they can create a new story by selecting the values they believe in different life stages.

In this diagram, I devide life into six stages. From 18 to 78, each 10 years presents a phrase of age. In addition, I pick up seven core values and seperate them into two categories, including internal and external . Furthermore, I write few stories, which fit in different ages and follow the core value as well. Except the visualized effect design, I also put the sounds into each sentence, which can express the possible context, which I set for every column.

Meaning of Objects Box Box means the limitation in our life. Everyone is borned in very different backgorund, with various characteristics, or different talents. After the player enter to the box, the game starts.
Ball
Various balls in the box represents all options which the players may face in their life. No matter the player choose or not, there are still options, which they have to choose.
Description and Sounds After the players enter the ball, they will see different contents. These contents will appear with sounds differently due to different values and ages.
65
Sound Effects
In addition to the sounds I collected from youtube open source, I also record the guiding sounds, which tell players about the rules in this game. Furthermore, I used the simplified online mixer system to create the sounds.
Ball Effects
Since I tried to create some abstract feeling, the scenerios would seem like to be in the space. Also, the sound that happen will be similar as some sounds from fiction movies. Therefore, I want to make some glowing balls. However, the effect is hard to present in 3D environment in processing. I have tried several methods.
Game Process Player will be guided by the sound and enter to the box. Game starts.
Go through a tunnel and back to the box.
After entering to the box, the player will see balls with seven colors and some balls without colors. The value will also rotate around the ball. Click a ball to enter.
After going through 6 dierent life stages, the balls which are selected by players will be connected together. The sounds in each ball will be played orderly.
After entering to a ball, the text will appear with shaking. The player needs to clickand make the words become a line. Sound will appear in the same time. Click the box to leave.
Finally, all balls will be formed as a new constellation. The process aims to let the player review what kinds of values they choosed, what they have experienced.

LoT works like a normal library but instead of just books, all kind of tools and products can be rented. In order to make the LoT user-friendly, it will be integrated into the current book rental system of NCKU. Some tools will not be allowed to leave the LoT work area, but can be used under the supervision of LoT staff in the LoT work room. In order to utilize the many resources spread across NCKU campus, the LoT will also provide information about tools housed in certain departments which can be reserved for use under supervision of that department. Such a service will allow current resources to be Through sharing, less products are needed and less waste is created. Sharing optimizes the usage of a product and may be the best way to achieve a recycling circle as described in Circular Economy. LoT will become a non-profit organization within NCKU with the goal of increasing campus sustainability while reducing living costs for students.

For the first step, we decided to aim on borrowing the things from library instead of just books. Before we started the exhibition, we would have a pilot. By doing so, we might can gather more feedbacks from the students or people in the campus.

Where can the LoT be ? We decided to set up LoT in the main library. Since the concept of borrowing and returning is the one very closed to the concept of LoT , we decided to locate the exhibition here. The design below shows the plan of setting up various display boards.
