From jigsaw puzzles to plastic models, from Rubik’s cube to work design structure, I always enjoy breaking things apart and, of course, putting things together. Born in a family of doctors and engineers oriented in pharmaceutical industries, my curiosity of how things work runs in my blood. From an early age when my parents operated a pharmacy, I always sat beside my mum listening to her talking with patients and went to pharmaceutical company to find out how pills are made of. The influence of corporate culture on tinkering impede the development of innovation, invention, and illumination. The corporate culture could not provide an environment for Tinkers to make the world better.
The Stanford University have the synphasis of art and engineering. it's idea is equivalent with the David Design Principle. David infused Design Thinking applying human behavior into design which allows people design based on the others' idea and reach the height they want to be, and also let other's make the design better. The key to unlock the innovation and creativity is that David approach diversified background people into his firm and let them get brain-storming, the right through the idea, the execute product. This is the key to unlock the innovation, creativity, and illumination. He ask people to be a design thinker and encourage wild ideas. A good design is based on figuring out what people want to have by watching their behavior. (try to understand people through observing them). He have the 3D printing machine with his daughter. Concerning project we do in the lab, we could based on David's design principle to design staff useful, ergonomics, and make life easier and better. Just like last week we print out a useful key chain.
