...During my speech, I’d liked to share sympathy and inspiration regarding the role and responsibility of designer through the 50 slides showing designs in collaboration with my students and works of my own associated with my food, clothing and shelter.
Here I present my clothes, room, tableware and traffic means, works in collaboration with my students in class such as ‘Stop Global Warming’ posters, symbol marks for non-profit and public organizations, artworks for my solo-exhibitions, eco-friendly calendar and pictures of on-street T-shirts performance with citizens.
I hope we shall have time of green to sympathize with the role and responsibility of designer to cope with dilemmas of design education and ethical challenges in design.
