About

Design for "Reality"

My journey into product design began with a childhood spent repurposing everyday materials into handmade collectibles. That early curiosity for form and function evolved into a formal pursuit of industrial design, where I now blend craftsmanship with professional innovation.

"A responsive heat-powered trivet" Potential hazards occur from time to time in daily life, among which "heat" cannot be accurately detected. Users may overlook or misjudge the temperature, leading to accidents or inconvenience. PEBIVET is a pot trivet with graduated light indicators. It provides users with a thermal reference and enhances the user experience in daily applications. "Making Heat Visible" Clear visual cues improve safety, especially for children & the elderly. Helps parents teach children to recognize heat and danger easily. Users often only notice food has gone cold after they start eating, affecting the experience. Precise temperature control during cooking is challenging, especially for food that cannot be reheated for long. Provides real time thermal feedback for safer & more confident use.
