meanwhile, a vitamin candy
will drop down from the
bottom hole.
 population distribution:
dots=nearby people

skin sensor battery: when it touches

skin, it charges itself.
Low-frequency sound: long distance
spread, low loss of spread, not ear-
piercing. Sensitive equipment can
receive it.
Infrasonic waves: strong sound
penetration.

“survival design”
For those who are trapped somewhere in a disaster. Cirvival
Mainly solve the connection problem and show the trapped people the nearby

which pushes internal plank come out to pro-
duce more space for passengers to stay.

Braille bus stop schedule and blind road

1/3 space for people to get through

Banisters for leaning and there are some

gaps on it for hanging plastic or paper

(interaction design)

2005-2009 Beijing Information Science&Technology University,

BE (industrial design)

I have a creative mind and always

learn new things fast. I enjoy teamwork
so much. My background cultivates me a
sense of sensitivity to the surroundings.
So I always keep a curiosity to all the
new things and I’m eager to study them
with passion. That’s all about me: easy-
going, energetic, adventurous
and highly-motivated.
