Liu hsuantzu comes from Taiwan.

Graduated in Design Academy Eindhoven master program contextual design in 2014.

As a designer, Hsuantzu believes she has a strong sense of beauty. And the duty of designers, as she defines, is to deliver the joy she got from those fascinating stuff she is addicted to. It doesn’t has to be an object, maybe a feeling, or words of wisdom. What she fond of should be transform into certain objects or forms so that more people can appreciate or inspired by them like she did.

Hsuantzu is now base in Tokyo, working as an independent designer in her own studio - Atelier Liu Hsuantzu. Recently working on Kintsugi. ( A traditional craft that repair ceramic in Japan.)
 

劉軒慈為自由設計師，2014年畢業於安荷芬設計學院contextual design，現為Atelier Liu Hsuantzu 負責人，從事產品設計、訂製品設計、金繼修復以及製作各式各樣令人喜愛的廢物。專長為將抽象哲學概念發展成設計和展覽，針對環境、經驗、材質、抽象概念與製造過程，結合工藝或利用製程特色，發展出獨一無二的作品。

什麼是Contextual Design?
凡是中文體系出身的我們對於contextual都是很陌生的，因為中文裡並沒有一個詞可以體現contextual這個字的意思。若從context來說，是內容的意思，字面上翻譯contextual就是承先啟後。一段話總結我在這學到的東西（或是說被教育的）就是：
『contextual design是在教你以設計師的角色建築一個屬於你的世界觀，價值觀，哲學觀，社會觀，甚至小至生活感情觀，然後用充滿自己色彩的設計去講所有你想講的事情。』
