Statement

Hello. My name is Shu Ou. I’m from Taiwan and I started out as an engineer. I loved the analytical challenge but always felt there was something missing. Not knowing what that was, I quit my job as an engineer and started working at a coffee shop. I realized I was far more excited knowing how to make things work in a human context, even just a light roast coffee.

I find this same excitement through design. Investigating, understanding underlying patterns, prototyping and testing allow me to design possibilities in a new way. Technologies lead us to the massive unknown, so solutions must be considerate of the relationship between humans and the environment. I want to create humanistic perspectives for the world we’re currently shaping.
