Heritage Design- Family Zhang

 

 This bowl set is about my family history and Chinese 
Culture. I was trying to combine the abstracted movements of Taiji boxing with the Chinese opera and the culture of Chinese food.
 
This bowl set is an interpretation of what I believe the stages of life are. The form represents the 
positions within the Chinese Opera and Taiji Boxing movements.

 

 

 Queen Of Couture Watch Refresh Design

This project was a two weeks design project for Juicy Couture watches--Queen of Couture Collection refresh design.

This collection was all designed in Illustrator. Based on "Queen" themes, I was totally inspired by the movie "Maleficent". This movie gave me a different perspective of a queen story. Based on the story line, I designed 5 different watches to represent "Maleficent" different stages in her life. Each themes represent  the transition between innocent girl to a queen.

There is pure, love, depressed, loss and rebirth. All these movements created the Queen Maleficent.

Dynacraft Inc. Sponsored Project 

 

Three concepts for Dynacraft company which are Princess Carriage, 12 Volts Wagon and Big Time Baja.

My original concept for Dynacraft is Pumpkin car for girls market. Every girl has a dream about being princess and waiting for her Mr. RIGHT no matter how old she is. This car creates a feeling of " on my way" to see my prince.
  
Then we developed Pumpkin concept to Princess Carriage to created more feeling of princess.  It has big potential and opportunity on the market, specifically when aimed at the demographic of little girls.

E-Smart

 

Eating habits are one of the most important factors for health. However, there are no products that show proper eating habit process. 

Even though there are some ways for people to get advise such as personal trainer, they are often times too expensive and inconvenient. 

E-smart can track eating habits through scanning grocery shopping receipts and giving a personalized dietary suggestions and health report.  Also, it can test how fresh the food is and recommend recipe depends on what you have in refrigerator.
