Introduction

Hi, my name is Tim and I’m a recent graduate from VPA’s Industrial and Interaction Design program. I’m from Hong Kong and I am taking this course as well as some other design courses to fulfill the studio requirements. Spending the last five years in Syracuse was truly a life-changing experience, especially with meeting people from all fields of study as well as having the chance to study abroad in Poland and Central Europe. As for myself, besides my major in industrial design, my main passions and interests are history and playing the cello. Besides this course, I will be taking part in an internship for a design company assisting the Mini car brand as well as working on further videos for my channel on historical education. Since I have returned to Hong Kong from Syracuse since the early months of the pandemic last March, I have been taking online classes since. I believe that the most important part of learning asynchronously is having a strict schedule as well as self-control, especially since you have to keep track of the work by yourself and communication is slightly more difficult. However, no matter how strange times have become, I believe it will slowly improve and I look forward to working with all of you.
