I'M BACK!

Sorry for all my loyal readers out there for keep checking my blog and always noticing the same old thing.

A LOT HAS CHANGED!

1. Don't know if I mentioned before but I'm ENGAGED!!!! tam tam taaa daaamm!

2. Finally finished UNIVERSITY with an amazing project that I will talk about it later on (it's an awesome electric bicycle made out of recycled materials)

3.My graduation exhibition was a SUCCESS!

4.My project is at the Design Biannale in Korea thanks to LINES LAB

5.Learning great things at my new job as Design Assistant at LINES LAB doing awesome projects related to fashion and product design

So here are some images in Korea taken by the organizers of 'MIRAGE'.

LINES LAB were invited to be part by curating a exhibition under the team : CITIES COMMUNITY

Mirage is by definition an optical phenomenon and the origin of the word comes from the latin mirare, meaning “to look at, to wonder at”.
Macau is a city of constant change and frantic development, no landscape is the same for too long and as designers we wonder about its future.
Designers in Macau are working to answer to theirs city communities expectations and “wonders”, through Design. As the discipline that foresees the development of multidisciplinary systems and methods by blending processes and creating new networks aiming for innovation, productivity and sustainability.
In this exhibition the group of professionals, institutions and events represented are participating in a new way of dealing with the creative industries, in a local dimension but also designing “NEW MIRAGES” for a new era of Asian creative development.

Participants
San Lee + Nuno Soares + MO Design + Cindy Ng + João Ó + Manuel CS + Lines Lab + USJ Design Course (CINTIA LEITE) & +853 Cultural Association/This Is My City

Later on I'll be posting more about my beautiful electric bike made of bamboo and recycled materials.

Also would like to thank everyone that help me giving me heaaaps of support and strength to keep going.

Commuting the best way x

Sorry everyone!!

Having been posting anything lately for innumerous reasons, and trust me, this time got a pretty good one!! Anyways, university has started and is my final semester!! Can’t believe I’m going to be graduating soon!! Yohoooo!

This semester we have to develop a design project concerning our commuting life.

We have to not only research about urban commuters but also make one! The project is to design a vehicle that would satisfy the lucky ones here in Macau (China) in 2023, 12 years from now.

Challenging I know, specially because I do nothing concerning automobiles and so on… To be honest, I reaaaaally don’t like anything to do with that. I have my 17-year-old manual car and I never had to change a tire by myself.. I would know how to, but if there is someone willing to help, GREAT! Hehe

So I am striving to find motivation to even start this marvelous project and the only thing that starts my enthusiasm is the idea of developing something to help Macau’s traffic jam and the community.

Develop something that the citizens can be proud by helping the environment and themselves.

Here is a design concept that I found really interesting:

Designed by Jinsik Kim and Boseung Seo, the Re:energy is a concept bicycle that helps you reduce your carbon footprint and generate some power for your handheld devices and notebook computers. The idea behind the Re:energy is simple – you ride the bike and its wheels convert kinetic energy into usable electricity.

 The energy generated by the bike’s wheels is stored in an onboard battery, which can later be used to power your cellphone, MP3 player, GPS unit or even your laptop.

So yeah, I'll probably be posting stuff about this since I have to do a lot of research!!

Please, if you do have any material or information about urban mobility, feel free to post a comment or something ;)


Take care,
