Hello I’m Jie. Throughout my design journey, I discovered how much I enjoy learning through research and developing technical understanding. I’m driven by curiosity to unpack how products work, why they are built the way they are, and how design decisions shape real user experiences.

Inspired by isopods, this project explores how nature’s modular, layered structures can inform furniture design. The resulting stools translate biological principles into functional forms that celebrate adaptability, unity, and nature’s quiet engineering.
