Why are you pursuing design?
I am pursuing design to help patients understand why they are at a hospital. There is a reason why doctors go through pre-med, fours years of medical school and then several more years of an internship. Medicine is hard to understand, I want to design so that patients can fully understand and become confident in what is going on with their body. Surgery is a scary thing, and if a doctor can explain the operation or other treatments visually, that patient's stress will reduce, they will become informed and have a better sense of control.
Beyond making a living, what do you hope to achieve through design?
I hope to make innovative things. I want to cross different fields like biology and psychology, with design. The possibilities of design are not just in art, and I believe that design can make everything clearer and easier to learn. To be more specific, I hope to achieve communicating the incredible functions of the human body to any education level.
What inspires you to design?
I am inspired to design for the shallow purpose of making things beautiful. However, making things pretty is truly not a shallow task, since what you are trying to do is to expand ideas. Things like making data better to understand using color, illustrating an article to help get the story across, of combining design with function to improve technology.
What is the relevance of your life and the world around you?
What a deep philosophical question! I think this answer changes with age. For example, when I was 6, the relevance of my life was climbing that tree higher than my brother. Right now, the relevance of my life is to become as educated as I can in several fields and then bring them together somehow, and then, specialize in that unique ideas. I hope to improve the world around me with these "Medici Effect" ideas.
I am not much of an Internet person, but here is what I use.

Popular Science was great as a hard copy magazine, but I like it even more online.
ReplyDeleteMaking things beautiful isn't shallow at all!
