READING TREE

LEAD INDUSTRIAL DESIGNER

University FC, Guidecraft Inc.,

2017-2018

Reading Tree is my first project as a design lead. The project started as part of an interior furniture piece for a preschool in Shanghai. After he setup, we look to push the design further and plan to market it as an RTA furniture kit. The kit can be used as a standalone, double, or quadruple configuration.

In this project, the design director stated that he simply threw me into the water and watched to see if I swam or drowned. He later told me that I was definitely swimming through it.
