Because he has studied cross-disciplinary fields, from Fine Art to Illustration and Industrial Design, I Chao is able to apply draw out a more complex storyline in his products, imbuing his products more relevance to user's lives.
I Chao received his Bachelor of Fine Arts degree at National Kaohsiung Normal University in Taiwan. In 2007, he came to New York to study Illustration and received Master of Illustration degree at Fashion Institute of Technology. Driven by the desire of making things, he further studied Industrial Design at Pratt Institute master program.
As we grow older, our imagination slips away. But each one of us must re-discover where it lives, because this is also the core of creativity resides in our adult lives. It is a duty of my design to facilitate this process of re-inspiration.
