Optimus Maximus Keyboard by Art Lebedev Studio

Second… waste of energy I think_

I don’t think this one is it….

IDSA MidEast Conference: Caroline Lu

2011-04-15T22:46:00.003-04:00

Caroline Lu is a researcher and designer at Mayo Clinic.

Those of you who don’t know what Mayo Clinic is, it is a non-profilt organization that provides a medical practice and medical research group. And you ask how a designer could be working for Mayo Clinic? Caroline said few years ago IDEO established Mayo Clinic’s Center for Innovation (CFI). They probably believed that there are ways to find and solve a problem that creative minds can do :D

At IDSA conference, Caroline shared how a designer/researcher involved in the process and progressed to find a solution. She has begun with her research state. We all know as a designer that research carries big weight in part of designing. As she talked about her research and how emotional it is… how people reacts…. What all the doctors have to go through…. I started to tear up during her first ten minutes into the presentation ;-;

I am not going to talk about everything. Her solution? It was genius! So simple but innovative! You can read her case story at Core 77. “Case Study: Designing An EMR For Small Family Medicine Practices, by Caroline Lu”

During the celebration that night, I had a chance to talk to her. First thing I said was, “I tried not to cry during your presentation!” Her face was lighted up. “ I learned that every field needs a designer, and there are a way to find a solution in creative way.” Then she thanked me. She was a humble but brave woman. She told me, she tried not to cry and tear up, and it shows that you are weak. We, as women, are very emotional. Most of time, it is good thing but we have to try not to overcome by the overflowing emotion especially in front of patients. Lot of people freak out when someone is crying…you know :)

There aren’t many female designers out there. But a woman like Caroline Lu inspires lot of young designers and students encourage that there are many fields that women need to involve. Using emotional state in ours, we can design something that will move other people.

There are several things I learned and decided.

I learned that you may use your emotional state to find a problem and solve a creative solution. Designers not only can design a pretty, innovative, and futuristic thing, but also can help people, even in medical field (duh!)

Now I do want to design something that is an emotionally help. I want to design something that is an emotionally desire. I don’t want to be a designer who makes garbage.

I still have lot to talk about my epxerience at IDSA. So be patient!

I would love to share what I've learned this year. If you have a chance, don't forget to attend IDSA conference next year! Being around by creative & passionate designers all weekends is just priceless. Well... stay tuned_

2011-04-15T21:30:00.005-04:00

three projects are going on right now at GE.... I hope to cover most of my experiences from IDSA soon_ so please be patient!

IDSA MidEast Conference: Curt Baily

2011-04-12T00:30:00.003-04:00

Curt Baily from SunbergFerar gave a speech

about why we need to design

something different & unique then others.

He compared his story with Porridge

from the story of Goldilock & three bears.

Porridge is so blend and colorless...

and I dont even know why bears & Goldilock even obsessed about it.

He said we rather design

something that has strong emotions

then something blend, like porridge.

Of course, that strong emotion that consumers feel is "Love" then

you are successfully design something that

will probably last long_

The design philosophy of Curt & SunbergFerar is

what we as a designers initially in minds before designing.

It may not be so easy because of stupid corporate marketing - _-;

but I think it is a never ending task as a designer to fight for what we truly believe.

We have to fight.

I think I will try my best to fight for what I believe in rest of GE internship.

moment.

2011-04-10T23:45:00.002-04:00

At Mideast conference, I had many AhHa moments. from speakers from professions from students One day, I do hope that I will be able to provide AhHa moment to others. I already miss IDSA conference.

IDSA MidEast Conference: Dan Harden

2011-04-10T23:19:00.005-04:00

I attened the annual distric IDSA Midead conference past three days.

(April 8-10, 2011)

I was overwhelemed by all the speaksers and people I've met

who are well passionate about DESIGN.

I met Dan Harden from Whipsaw.

He is the guy who was behind the innovative baby bottle

that I actually wanted to touch.... and I did.

(hahahaha..yes. they were very soft)

http://hi-dee122.blogspot.com/2010/04/design-revolution.html

Not just that,

he has designed various products that

we may use these days.

We never know o_o

Now, he is my one of inspire.

I hope one day, there is another chance to meet this man

talk about our design.

[update]

I talked about Dan with my manager at GE.

and guess what!?

my manager, Marc Hottenroth, interned and worked

for Dan Harden 20 years ago in NYC.

what a small world!

my mom

2010-02-14T16:01:00.007-05:00

i love my mom

she is my mother, sister,

advisor, supporter, and best friend

so there are things

that worries her

like other mothers

these are top 5:

5. me might have a retarded baby

(just because i drink coke too much...-_ -)

4. me might get rape or shot in detroit

3. me might leave far away from home in future

(she wants the family live close as possible)

2. me getting an internship this summer

(its b/c my sister already got her internship at GE this summer,

she worries about my dignity as an older sister-_ -)

1. me might marry an asshole

(or a person who doesnt appreciate or approve by my mom)

she doesnt approve "men" period

maybe thats why i am single today

this school is just BS

this is first semester i am not improvin WHAT SO EVER

first off - this school lied about facility

what facilities? where? please do tell...

oh are you talking about grad school building

that only opens til 5pm?

ah thanks

second, when i discussed with professors here

about schedules (7 STUDIOS)

he said everyone has that amount of studios for a semester

BULLSHIT

at most 4 at least 1-

whats up with that?

third, we got 40 computers in one small crapy lab

and how many works? less than 20...

how many as working alias? 18

how many has hypershot? 10

how many has showcase? 10

how many has imagestudio? guess- nope its just one computer

how do i know? well i spent last 1hour 30mins marking which computer i should use.

fourth, people

maybe it just atomosphere here...

but ppl here are so dry

they are always working- it seems

but no..they come to class without having assignments done

if you have nothing to show- please..dont come

group projects

i dont mind just group me with people who love design (period)

i am not gonna talk about this anymore

just thinkin about my last week not sleeping and

making stupid alias model and fixing what SHE THINKS ITS GOOD

hell no- i told her disagree but "professor told us"

well he doesnt know nothing about our design

fuck you

fifth, french

four french exchange students

i dont even know WHY they decide to come if they cant speak the language

wait- they said koreans can speak english very well

welll...are you guys? hell no

they cant even understand "visibility"

how am i suppose to explain this?

and they decided to skip class for like a month

can show up during middle of project

and now they want me to explain the whole thing again

wow talk about easy grade

well i am not gonna get you go off easily

oh and somehow they got this intern here

with furniture company

ahhh they get it and i dont...

wait company will find out how horrible they are-

sixth, professors

psycho professors who never think about students' opinion

and dont even give good crit at all

"change this- i think this is weird..."

give us the due date and

change the date to a week later 8 hours before due date....

well he is sick... more like hangover

i know what he did- drinking wine with his friends

i spent my two days barely sleeping,

spending $100 on printings, walking,

and fighting with kinkos and he moves the due date.

my other studio class wont be end til right before christmas

why? because we didnt have class for a month

and we are finally refining our design right now

i have to make alias model and image board for next two weeks

thanks assholes

i am so done here

like my mom and uncles say

i am not going to push myself hard anymore

not giving them anymore ideas of mine

just want this two weeks to get over with

intership offer

2009-11-22T04:19:00.003-05:00

on saturday i skipped class
to attend International Creative Studies workshop
its a company who wants to educate the future designers
and offers classes that school or any other places doesnt teach

the company, ICS, was organized
by real working professionals
that also teach at several colleges in korea

it was one day workshop
in short period of times
i had a chance to take three classes
1. 5mins and 1 hour: design exercise class
2. sound design
3. theory of color
most interesting class was color class
it def opened my eyes in different way
i wish it was longer
the professors there were very talented and well educated
couple profs. from pratt
one prof from cranbrook
..etc
it was def honored to meet real working designers/professors

the end of the day
we watched the movie, objectified
and had wine party/protfolio reviews

i only had two projects in soph.

and current projects that i was working on-

i had good critcs from those professionals

and unexpectly, the designer who graduated from cranbrook

asked me if i need an internship-

and he would like to work with me winter or summer

i found out those designers also own small design consultancy called, FEIT

we shared our business card and ended the day

hopefully i get more offers

so i can choose right internship for next summer//

it was def productive day!!!

(also i get to see my friends too!)

yay me!

2009-11-20T01:03:00.004-05:00

just the surprise and happiness the person

who will see my letter in the mail box

makes me so happy!

i randomly decided-

what da hell// i am sketching on my wacom today

even though there are lots of pointless

sketches and renderings to do-

while i am here

i guess i am gonna practice my digital sketching-

summer sketches

2009-11-19T01:04:00.004-05:00

bunch of useless cellphone sketches

flexable laptop concept

2009-11-18T03:50:00.001-05:00

2009-11-18T00:28:00.001-05:00

moly_portrait_2

2009-11-16T11:00:00.003-05:00

a year ago-

my friend, kristen, recommended me

to start this thing called moly_exchange

simply you exchange your moleskin

with ppl around the world

i joined moly_portrait_2 about a year ago

some ups and downs

i only had one moly from sweden

and i am waiting for another one to come

i drew myself on mine

and drew rob on his-

now looking back...

o m g

i want to fix myself

poor sketch skill

2009-11-13T02:33:00.001-05:00

truth

2009-11-10T10:23:00.005-05:00

i believed that coming back to korea and study design in different but familiar environment would help me succeed later plan-

or at least learn something new that i would never know at ccs-

everything was just fantasy i guess

maybe i shouldve stop everything when the plan didnt go smooth as we all thought it would be....

i shouldnt forced it....

now what it comes is...just wasting my semester and wasting my energy-

its so sad to talk about my own country's education system-

it just makes me mad so much that i had to say it...

7 classes....7 projects.....6 days a week but total of 12 credits

how ridiculous this is....

how unnecessary action.....a risk i took

....oh shut up heidi...

you knew it was a risk :/

anyway ive been sketching so much

i mean i am taking 7 studio classes

i should be sketching while i am sleeping right?

but the depressing part is

i hate all of my sketches

i am not having fun at all

my designes are all shitty

i think i am loosing my abilities to sketch...even think-

different environment, people,...culture....

i thought they would innovate me...

or at least keep me inspire-

dry....too dry here

i dont remember "fun" in sketching anymore-

i miss my friends

i miss detroit

i miss my old desk

i miss life

i am so ready to go back

after pages-

2009-11-01T23:58:00.003-05:00

size will be max of 10x17"

foilo cover trials

2009-11-01T23:56:00.002-05:00

qualities are shiitty on purpose :P

after four trials-

i think i am gonna go with last one//

hope i dont change my mind...again

2009-10-31T01:39:00.005-04:00

final competition piece

2009-10-15T20:26:00.003-04:00

i am ready to print!

bench rendering

2009-10-14T03:12:00.003-04:00

final bench renderings for competition :D

this how crapy school computer lab is

most of computers have alias

most of computers have rhino

current computers have hypershot

few computers have showcase (but doesnt really work)

no computer has imagestudio (my favorite ;-;)

i had to use hypershot to render the model

i barely..no i correct-

i never used hypershot to render my model before

now you can see i has no choice

at least it came out alright

but i wished ive done it on showcase

(showcase has better woods)

back to work!

wish me luck too!

fork

2009-10-13T10:53:00.003-04:00

this was my class assignment, fork

just making an alias model

(this isnt my design)

anyway

LOOK HOW SMOOTH THE CURVE IS!?

its hard to see it

i better get new screen shot

i am so proud :D

ㄱㄴㄷ

2009-10-08T08:58:00.004-04:00

there is korean (hangul) idea competition.

its the way to advise the beauty of koreans

so i decided to do the bench :)

here are some ideation sketches

yesterday i started alias model

but i think i am gonna use desktop to do that now

my laptop cant handle big alias file ;-;

i wish there is 24 hours lab here

i couldve done so many projects done *sigh*

i guess i have to work out whatever i have...

but i thought this school has impressive facilities

what impressive facilities? i dont see one -_-

korea//

2009-09-02T08:11:00.006-04:00

i am in korea!!!!

for those of who dont know

i am here for study abroad at kookmin university

one of top 2 design program in korea

school started this week

a week earlier than ccs//

i am like a foreigner here in korea

not even a foreigner...

more like a loner -_-;;;

koreans love foreigner

but it seems like they dont notice that

i am not really from korea

so they treat me like other koreans...

so most of the time they ignore me...;-;

so far classes was done after 10-30 mins

which means i dont have a time to get to know others

....hope it will be better and better....

becuase of swine flu,

foreigners are not really welcome in korea

(already 4 ppl died)

now all foreign kids are required to take

a temperature check everyday

at least a week

ahhhhhh its so hot here too

especially without car...

i am dying ;-;
