SF Design Week 2011 – Tue Studio Visit

So fired up after the SF Design Week studio visit this evening! All those studios, while they made beautifully designed and well thought out products/services, the more important thing is, they are all great story teller. They tell stories with authenticity and passion.

Examples:

Industrial design Matt at fuseprojectTwo dollar frame for kids in Mexico

The, kinda, idea wall at Idea Couture

Illustrating scenarios at Adaptive Path for Global Pulse & Hunch Works

I still remember my mum telling me her childhood stories how she and my grandparents got to Macau to get away from of the 2nd World War and the civil war between Communism and Democratic parties in China, how they made a living by making fireworks…

That’s what I wanna do with my products. It’s a story as sticky, as authentic and as inspiring as the stories my parents told me. Stories that define human and push us to pursue a better world.
