The learning journey continues…
At the blink of an eye, I have come to the end of my internship here at Sauder d.studio. 3 months have passed, and it’s just amazing time flies. I just thought I would end my internship and my last blog post with a reflection of my journey. If there’s one thing I would miss […]
Elements of a design process
Another big project I’ve been involved in, in the Sauder d.studio, is to redesign our website. I am not dealing with the technical side of things, but together with the team, I’m involved in the strategy development and communications design part for the website. For example, this includes ideas such as who are we redesigning […]
What’s work like as a Marketing Intern?
What’s work like as a Marketing Intern in Sauder d.studio? How are my employers like? What’s the working atmosphere like? How do we operate? What do I do? Check out this 1-min video I’ve created and ‘like’ it there! Enjoy watching!
The art of interviewing
One of the things I do here at Sauder d.studio is interviewing people. Who do I interview… you might ask. For the most part, I interview students who have taken a d.studio course before to see how they have applied strategic design in their internships or careers, and I write their stories up into case […]
A User-Centred Design
In a world where technology is rapidly developing and where new machines are created in the service industry, one such company has learnt to successfully design a machine centred on user-experience. If you are thinking about the Mac, that’s a good choice but I am not referring to it at this point of time. Together […]
Different sides of Creativity — The Hanoi Ceramic Mosaic Mural
Vandalism or creativity? How much of this is considered an expression of art, and how much of this is considered damaging public properties? Yes, I am talking about graffiti. Graffiti refers to drawings or scribbles created illicitly on public surfaces such as walls. Just two years ago, a Swiss National was charged for spray-painting […]
Glassblowing — just like a design process
Talk about Venice—and the first thing that pops up in many of our minds is a “City of Water.” Indeed, when I was travelling in Venice during my teens, one thing I found it difficult to believe was that there were such things as “a water police, a water fire station, and a water taxi.” […]
Business Innovation makes parents’ lives easier
A fact about me. I love working with children. Simply interacting with them makes me really happy. In fact, a lot of people have actually asked me why am I in Business, and not Education? Well, I believe taking a degree in Business will still open up a career with children. One day I was […]
Innovate
What do all these designs have in common? Innovation. Something out of the blue. Something interesting. Something that not many people would ideate and think it is feasible enough. Recently, Moura (the professor of Sauder d.studio) shared with our team a really interesting article from 7ideas.net: 21 illustrated idea killers – reasons why creative […]
Inspiration
Ever wonder what is it like to have technological ideas made into a form of art? ‘Kinetic Rain’, a sculpture made up of 1216 bronze droplets that transforms elegantly into multiple shapes, akin to poetry in motion can be seen in Terminal 1 of Singapore Changi Airport.
