Easy-defrost Fish Package - Video Link -
About
Number of Designer
Wai�ng for defros�ng frozen fish has always been tricky. Easy-defrost fish package reduces the wai�ng �me for fish to get defrosted. Graphite Sheet, with its high thermal conduc�vity, speeds up defros�ng with the heat from hands and room temperature. This packaging allows your fish to be defrosted on your way home from shopping. We adopt the semi-relief skill to present the shapes of different sliced types, and decorate them with Graphite Sheet in the pa�erns which are in accordance with fish scales. This design helps consumers choose the product they want easily. Yan-Ting, Chen / 3 people

Background For workers, hotel is the most considerable choice for staying over night. However, when customer call for room service, it o�en takes �me of wai�ng and has some problems about communica�on.
Design Research [ Design goals ] / For Hotel-Host / Cut down labor cost so that the service provider can provide be�er service. Reduce the deliver �me to increase customer sa�sfac�on. The fashinable, familiarity and technological shape of the robot can catch customer's eyes. Customer can experience interac�ng with the robot.
/ For customer / Deliver personal objects with the robot, protect the privacy of customers. Reduce mental stress of customers.
[ Technology ] We use the high tech, Visual Lignt communica�on, to offer the LED light in the hotel other func�ons. Except of the illumina�on, the lights can send the instruc�ons to the robot and it can execute the route instruc�on accurately. Moreover, the APP not only can provide integrated service informa�on to the customers but provide the hotel host get the informa�on about the quality of room service and the customer service sa�sfac�on.

Adjustable temperature rolling pin Dough fermenta�on requires proper temperature and �me. If the temperature of the rolling pin when rolling dough can be adjusted as needed, the efficiency and success rate are increased. So, I use water to match the rolling pin, and put the water of the required temperature into the pin. It’s not only convenient, and the cost is not as expensive as electronic type, so it’s saving �me and effort.

Hans (Male, 26 years old, German) He said may it can be gamifica�on, then it will be more fun. And if there is a “feeling comment” it will be more useful, so others can imagine what it is before they watch it. And when users did well, maybe they could be upgraded in the app. Alice (Female, 24 years old, American) She does not think that it’s good to reject the videos that user upload, or user may feel down, so they don’t want to use the app again. And she thinks that user could get a feedback from Fysio24 a�er they upload the video, so they can feel the interac�on. Or create some invented character to give users feedback. Linda (Female, 28 years old, Dutch) She was thinking about how to keep user being interested. And she also think it’s not good to reject the users video. When I asked about the “like”, she said it’s not necessary to do it, or it would be an extra disturbance. The message may not appear on that loca�on, because it seems to there would be the same message on other op�on, but actually not.

More About Me
Internship in PEGA
In PEGA Design & Engineering, I worked as an UX designer. During the internship, I was in charge of three projects. From problems finding to producing design, I had a solid training in methods and techniques of solving problems. At the same time, I learned the cooperation and division of work in the team. Therefore, the majority of the clients served by PEGA are international, which also allows me to see a larger scale.

More About Me
Special Experience & Training During my college life, there were two important experiences that had significant impact on me, one of them was the training in HU in the Netherlands as I was an exchange student for half a year. It changed my way of thinking about design. Before I went to the Netherlands, we were always taught to produce products quickly without deep thinking and research. We set up learning goals before courses started, so I knew what I could learn and what I should try to do. It made me realize that where the goals were, and prevented myself from missing. In two major projects, we cooperated with an energy company to come up with a program and with an app developer to create a prototype, respectively. Our mentor guided us step by step, including research questions, insights, concept, target users, focus group, evaluation, sketch, prototype, etc. The well-structured design process led to high efficiency and quality. It really changed my way of design thinking and improved my design process. Afterwards, when I went back to Taiwan, I improved my practical design skills through three different internship jobs and put what I learned into practice. The other important experience for me was a one-year national competition including professional training, called “Transaction�, which was held in Taipei. It focused on user experience deign, providing an 8- hour course per week. The content of courses included research, analysis, and implementation. Among this year, we presented our design several times, in the same time, specified mentors from ASUS(design department manager), HTC (designer) often discussed with us individually to make products more reasonable and feasible. It made me realize how to turn ideas into reality in a research-based way. Besides, we won the first prize in the end and got further different internships respectively. In conclusion, through these two experiences, I learned crucial things behind products to make products more suitable and accurate for users.

Extracurricular Ac�vi�es
One of my extracurricular activities which was most meaningful for me was to attend a social organization, named “ Taiwan Social Enterprise Innovation and Entrepreneurship Society (TSEIES)”. TSEIES focuses on social services including business socializing consultation, NPOs commercializing assistance, Social enterprise concept and promotion, etc. It also conducts academic research and have published many books. I worked as a translator as part-time job because TSEIES often communicated with staffs from other countries especially in England. I also translated published articles from other social enterprises for knowledge exchange. Sometimes, I volunteered to attend workshops, conferences and salons. I not only learned the ability of holding activities, improved my English communication, but also enjoyed discussion and critical thinking about social issues. Afterwards, I put these experiences into practice and it influenced my disciplines of design as well. I tried to make my works more useful and friendly to people. So, these experiences in TSEIES were significant and valuable for me and my design.

More About Me
Studying Path I decided to study design when I was a senior high school student. And then I majored in Creative Design in YunTech. However, the courses they offered were quite different from my imagination. We need to do visual design, product design and architecture design in the same time. These were extremely different fields, and there were too many skills I needed to learn. We couldn't focus on one or two fields so this made us have no specific ability. In order to realize what I wanted to learn, I went to HU in the Netherlands in my third year. Then I gradually understood what design was and how design process should be carried out. After learning for half a year, I adjusted my ways of learning and thinking when I went back to YunTech and I realized that I wanted to focus on product design and user experience research. Then I had my internship in a industrial design company to learn more about product. In my last year in YunTech, I put what I learned into our graduate project, and also learned from many competitions we attended. Finally we got several prizes for this project. After graduation, I had other internship in PEGA Design & Engineering as a user experience designer for product, including products of Dell, Sony. I set up my mind to go deeper in field of product design, so I studied MA in NCKU. I learned many design research methods here, but I am eager to learn more about product design especially skills and design thinking in a strict buright way, to enhance my overall design ability. Therefore, I will study ArtCenter this year with scholarship in November of this year. But before studying abroad, I would like to have another intership so that I can learn more about what I need to learn and what I exactly want to do for the future.
