I studied English and Chines linguistics, literature and culture as well as foreign-language didactics with great interest. I am very happy to translate art, culture and design texts which often require a lot of creativity and a very good feel for the language in order to have the same effect.

Design philosophies are fundamental guiding principles that dictate how a designer approaches his/her practice.	設計理念是作為一名設計師做設計的核心原則。
Reflections on material culture and environmental concerns (sustainable design) can guide a design philosophy.	關注物質文化跟環境永續發展可以幫助設計理念。
One example is the First Things First manifesto which was launched within the graphic design community and states "We propose a reversal of priorities in favor of more useful, lasting and democratic forms of communication – a mindshift away from product marketing and toward the exploration and production of a new kind of meaning. The scope of debate is shrinking; it must expand. Consumerism is running uncontested; it must be challenged by other perspectives expressed, in part, through the visual languages and resources of design."	一個例子是在平面設計界內部發起的“要事第一”宣言，並指出：“我們建議改變優先次序，以支持更有用，持久和民主的溝通方式–從產品營銷轉向勘探和生產的觀念轉變具有新的意義。辯論的範圍正在縮小；它必須擴大。消費主義正在不受爭議地運行；它必須受到其他通過視覺語言和設計資源表達的觀點的挑戰。”
In The Sciences of the Artificial by polymath Herbert A. Simon, the author asserts design to be a meta-discipline of all professions.	在多學科的赫伯特·西蒙（Herbert A. Simon）撰寫的《人工科學》中，作者宣稱設計是所有專業的元學科。
"Engineers are not the only professional designers. Everyone designs who devises courses of action aimed at changing existing situations into preferred ones. The intellectual activity that produces material artifacts is no different fundamentally from the one that prescribes remedies for a sick patient or the one that devises a new sales plan for a company or a social welfare policy for a state. Design, so construed, is the core of all professional training; it is the principal mark that distinguishes the professions from the sciences. Schools of engineering, as well as schools of architecture, business, education, law, and medicine, are all centrally concerned with the process of design."	“工程師不是唯一的專業設計師。每個設計出旨在將現有情況轉變為首選情況的行動方案的設計人員。產生物質偽像的智力活動與規定對病患者採取補救措施的方法或對病人採取補救措施的方法根本沒有區別。為公司設計新的銷售計劃或州的社會福利政策，因此，設計是所有專業培訓的核心；它是區分專業與科學的主要標誌。建築，商業，教育，法律和醫學學校都集中關注設計過程。”
