記得考試的時候常常有答不出來的經驗，常常內心裡祈禱著這題讓我猜對吧！把民間宗教文化裡的“筊”作轉化到橡皮擦上，將宗教信仰與功能面結合，迷你“筊”橡皮擦就因此產生了。道教在台灣是常見且具代表性的宗教，也深深影響著台灣人民的生活。在道教裡，“筊”是用來與神明溝通的工具。說出自己的問題或請求，再將筊擲到地上，筊所呈現的方向即是神明給予的答案。
Taoism is one of the representative religions of Taiwan, which is also well instilled in the Taiwanese way of life. In Taoism, “Buei” is a special tool, designed for communicating with deities. To use this tool, you simply ask a question through prayers, and then drop the “Buei” on the floor. The sides, on which the “Buei” falls will be the answer from the deity to your question or request. This design concept is derived from the cultural belief and applying a functional side to the belief. It is thereby an eraser which functions as a miniature “Buei”. Given its small form it can be easily carried about, and stored away just as easily. 2008 台灣設計師週 / 點‧心設計邀請展-【文房五十】參展作品 |

“寫字，身體不要歪歪的。”
我想起小時候總會這樣被媽媽念，好吧，不歪身體那只好歪筆記本。現在不歪筆記本歪筆記本的橫線厲害了吧。 每個人手上的紙都有最舒服的書寫角度，我的是12°，你是幾度呢? “Don't twist you body while studying!” I remember my mom always say that to me. Alright, let me twist the notebook instead of my body then. Now, what about twist the lines instead of the entire notebook? Everyone gets his/her own degree of twisting angle for most comfortable writing position. Mine is 12, what's yours? Because of a notice that people twist the notebook when writing, so I design the lines slanted in notebook, to fit into our need naturally. 12 degrees of twisting angle for the most comfortable writing position. 2008 台灣設計師週 / 點‧心設計邀請展-【文房五十】參展作品 |

翻開許久未讀的書本時，一隻壓扁的蟑螂屍體映入眼簾。長長的蟑螂鬚，就像是辭海書裡像書籤功能的紅色細繩，循著蟑螂鬚，就可找到上次未讀完的書頁。若這個設計只到這裡的話，其實並不有趣。
這書籤有個“翻轉”的意義，當第一眼看到這書籤時，只覺得牠是一隻嚇人的蟑螂，但是當知道它的名字叫做微笑的蟑螂時，再看牠，牠似乎翻過身，露著肚皮對我傻笑！我一念之間翻轉了蟑螂，也翻轉了看書的情緒。 While opening the book which you have not read for a while, a flattened cockroach suddenly pops out right in front of you. Its long whiskers serve just like the red strings in the dictionary, and simply by tracing along the whiskers, you can locate the pages that you have not finished reading last time around. The design is not interesting enough if this is all. There's a concept behind this design bookmark - reverse. At the first sight can we only think of a dreadful cockroach. Even so, when it comes with a name of smiley cockroach and look at it again, it seems like turning over with its belly smiling at you. It only takes a thought to reverse the cockroach as well as your mood of reading. This is why I love this design. 2008 台灣設計師週 / 點‧心設計邀請展-【文房五十】參展作品 |

每當我們外出旅遊，總是想和不能一同前來的親朋好友分享旅遊的樂趣，習慣帶上「伴手」做為贈禮。在府城除了文化古蹟巡禮之外，還有令人食指大動的美食。從前，糖是貴族的象徵，「食物好甜」刻劃出你我對台南美食的印象，即便時代變遷，這種文化傳承也不曾改變。以螞蟻爬向食物的畫面帶出食物so sweet，同時收到「伴手」的心情也是so sweet。
Whenever we go to travel, we also want to share the fun of travel with someone who can’t come with us, and usually bring some special stuff as a gift. In addition to historic monument and citizen lifestyle, there have many kinds of delicious food in the cultural capital. In the past, the sugar symbolizes nobles. “The food is so sweet” made a general impression in Tainan cuisine. Even as times change, the culture would be passing down. Using ants crawl toward the food means the food is so sweet and feeling so sweet when received this gift. 2011 台灣設計師週 / 點‧心設計邀請展-【五十禮】參展作品 |

在外面吃飯時，坐在小凳子搭配小矮桌的店家用餐，往往讓人聯想到台南擔仔麵，想到挑著扁擔沿街叫賣的畫面，這是多麼深刻的文化記憶。藉由凳子，用身體來感覺台南，台南的樸實自在不拘謹。這是擔子挑起的美麗地方。
When we go out for dine, we sit on the small stool with a low table. Often make people to associate the Tainan Dan-tsu Noodles, think about the chapman who was carry on a shoulder load and call somebody to eat the noodles of the screen. This is our culture memory. By this stool, use the body to feel of Tainan. There are simple, comfortable and unreserved in Tainan. This is a lovely place. 2013 台灣設計師週 / 點心設計邀請展 寶用 |
