FS: Could you please tell us more about your art and design background? What made you become an artist/designer? Have you always wanted to be a designer?
PSYW: My art/design life started with my early interest in drawing. I have been drawing and drawing non-stop since then. My reason for choosing the field of design was very simple: later on in my life, I discovered the fun of creating 3D objects and the beauty of taking something dull and transferring them into products that everyone loves. That was how I got into the field of design.
FS: What is "design" for you?
PSYW: My understanding of good design is a designer's honest respond of a question. It should allow audiences to reconsider their relationship with surrounding people and objects.
FS: What kinds of works do you like designing most?
PSYW: I like to design small to medium size items. I like to hold the prototype and feel their weights on my palm.
FS: What was the first thing you designed for a company?
PSYW: A modern looking candelabra.
FS: What is your favorite material / platform / technology?
PSYW: Ceramic is extremely fun and allows a lot of possibilities.
FS: When do you feel the most creative?
PSYW: At night, when it's quiet and serene.
FS: What makes a design successful?
PSYW: Knowing your users/clients and great flexibility.
FS: From your point of view, what are the responsibilities of a designer for society and environment?
PSYW: To transfer dull and boring daily life into something surprising, attractive, and userful.
FS: What is your "golden rule" in design?
PSYW: Trust your instinct. Go with your instinct. Improve your instinct.
FS: What skills are most important for a designer?
PSYW: The courage to admit your failure and keep moving.
FS: How can people contact you?
PSYW: Email: pwong@risd.edu
FS: Thank you for providing us with this opportunity to interview you.
