Degree Project: Blooms & Bonds
In "Blooms and Bonds," I explore the captivating world of plants, focusing on flora of Taiwan. This project bridges my hobby of collecting plants and my mother's connection to home. My work includes creating vibrant garments and textile goods inspired by orchid colors and forms, encouraging viewers to appreciate the detailed beauty of nature. Through this project, I aim to promote a deeper connection to the natural world and inspire others to preserve our delicate ecosystems.

CAD Pattern Design:
CAD Pattern Design:
In my work, I utilize computer-aided design (CAD) software to craft detailed and intricate patterns and to streamline drafting, adjusting, and visualizing patterns. For example, I have developed a series of seamless botanical textile patterns that can be visualized on possible products before manufacture. Including CAD skills in my pattern design process, allows for innovative solutions and efficient workflow. This digital approach enhances accuracy, consistency, and reduces material waste, making it a key component of my design toolkit.
