Golden Gap & Sausalito

Golden Gap is so cold and Sausalito is so beautiful which they said like Europe.

Whipsaw & designafairs

Today we went to Whipsaw & designafairs.
Who know the company?answer it.you will get prize....haha
actually,Whipsaw has two parters,one is Daniel's classmate who called Hirotomi,another one I forgot.Jet lag....forgive me..(Dan Harden)
Whipsaw's history I don't want to explain,you might find it on the book,I want to said how I feel..
Hiro the Japanese , he is such a nice guy,answer our question in patience.They don't really have a design style about this company. But as I asked him,what's the most important different between Whipsaw & other design firm?Hiro said it is us(Hiro & Dan).Both of them,are more than 20 years design experience.And they will follow design any one of them.I said really??Because as we in Taiwan,usually there are 3-4 cases in one man,and a company of course, more cases than that.and many other stuff need boss to solve it.you really do see each case?At,first,he said.He and Dan also do design all the time and form model too.I shocked??no,Daniel do that too.Why should I shock?He really give me a familiar feel just like Daniel.Both of them are so passion to design.
designafaies,of course every designer in Taiwan,know Ben a lot.He is a nice guy.And only he, prepared ppt for us.Although , sometimes I fall nap. But guess what,It is the company that we spent most time.
Stephen is another parter who stay in Simems before.I asked him many question from what is American style(cause I used fall once to design for American and he show me a one cup coffee machine he said it is America style, so I ask him),to how you proceed a medical case;why designafairs used to think color & material are so important for a design firms.The most impression is that he mentioned terms which was step,jump and leap.It is means sometimes you design products more than now.Step probably several month,jump 2-3 years and leap 5-6 years up to you.And I also feel a feeling which I called customer judgment.Stephen mentioned several times, He always met customer's opinion didn't agree with him and finally he need to adjust it to what customer want.He is a man who has talented and version I can tell.Still has that kind frustration, no mention designers who in other country.
Today's tour, I like it really like it.....
