BA (Hons) in Product Design
Hi, I’m Lucy. As a product design student, I focus on user-centered and emotional design, aiming to build meaningful bridges between people and products through deep user insights. My greatest strength lies in team collaboration and project management. In interdisciplinary settings, where design concepts and technical constraints often clash, I excel at empathizing with different roles. By understanding diverse perspectives, I smoothly transform conflicts into constructive discussions, ensuring total team alignment. Moving forward, I hope to design products with "warmth" that truly resonate with users.
The global rise in abandoned pets reveals a critical gap between the idealized view of pet ownership and its long-term responsibilities. Traditional education fails to prepare owners for the financial costs and daily care involved. PETPACT addresses this through a lightweight esay-to-use board game that transforms these responsibilities into interactive learning for families and schools. Suitable for ages 6+and above it stimulates real-life pet ownership scenarios in under an hour, helping reduce financial concerns support classroom education, and give teenagers a realistic understanding of pet care.
By combining education with engagement, PETPACT teaches that pets are lifelong family members, not temporary companions, promoting more informed and responsible ownership.
全球寵物遺棄問題日益嚴重，反映出大眾對養寵的幻想與長期責任存在落差。為此，我設計了寓教於樂的輕量化桌遊《PETPACT》。
本遊戲專為6歲以上玩家設計，1小時內即可在家庭或課堂環境中輕鬆上手。玩家透過模擬真實的寵物照料與經濟抉擇，能逐步建立對生命的共情與責任感。它直擊三大痛點：緩解家庭的經濟焦慮、為教師提供德育工具、同時為青少年帶來一場趣味的「現實考驗」。
遺棄問題的本質上是生命教育的缺失。《PETPACT》寓教於樂，旨在傳遞「寵物是家人而非玩具」的價值觀，期盼每一條生命都能被有準備的家庭終身守護。以爪印許下承諾，用行動信守諾言。
