Grand Opening--my background

My name is Hiumei. I am so surprised my first assignment for the class is to open a blog. I think it is a great idea for those who are never create a website (including me) to experience the basic idea of how ideas are generated and organize in website.

I born in Hong Kong. I came here couple years ago to study design. I believed it was my opportunity to explore a world outside my save zone and to learn something new from other country. I first studied Industrial Design in my BFA in SFSU. It is a school to provide me a basic principle of design and have me to learn some basic skills on sketching and computer skills. For the last semester in SFSU, I met a teacher who was also teaching Academy of Art by that time. He gave an idea what is the real standard in the design industry in the real world. It was a tough class because he always push our skills and creative to something that we could not image before. Even my ideas were not always being accepted, it was a very good experience and nice to have such teacher to help us to learn so much in only one semester. That's why I decided to come here after I graduated.
