This weeks Designer Spotlight focuses on Han-Yin Hsu<\/a>, an architectural designer using the body as a new landscape for jewelry.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Tell us a little bit about yourself: Who are you? Where are you located?<\/em><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
I moved from Taiwan and graduated with a Master’s Degree from the Southern California Institute of Architecture in 2011. After working at several interior design and architecture offices, I realized I needed to express my ideas more directly so I decided to work on my own designs starting with 3D printed jewelry.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

What’s the story behind your designs? What inspires you?<\/em><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
I like to think of the body as a landscape for jewelry. My designs are focused on expressing the elegance of this landscape, and exploring the gesture of each element as it rests on the skin. I imagine 3D printing as a new physical ‘word’ for people to communicate with. It goes beyond language because it is physical, but it is also stored digitally, so it’s widespread. I am really excited when people wear my design with a big smile. It makes me feel that they heard me and are giving me a response!<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
What brought you to 3D printing with Shapeways?<\/em><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\n

Google.<\/p>\n

<\/a> <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
How did you learn how to design in 3D?<\/em><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
During graduate school it was common to present our architectural ideas using 3D printed models. So that’s where I became familiar with modeling in 3D as well as how to output it.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
How do you promote your work?<\/em><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\n

I’m using Facebook<\/a> to share my progress, and I’m making an effort to make all my pictures look as good as I can. You are very welcome to follow my page!<\/p>\n

<\/a> <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
Who are your favorite designers or artists? <\/em><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
I like the sense of the space created by architects such as Alvaro Siza, Frank Gehry, Zaha Hadid and Enric Miralles. I like the sense of the pleasure from the artist Henri Matisse. I also draw some inspiration from Italo Calvino’s poetic writing style.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
If you weren’t limited by current technologies, what would you want to make using 3D printing?<\/em><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
I want to print with recyclable materials. I hope eventually 3D printing technology could lead us to an environmentally friendly and creative life at the same time! <\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\n

Anything else you want to share?<\/em><\/p>\n

Thanks for the chance to be in this interview. I appreciate that Shapeways provides a great environment for all the makers to experiment with their ideas!<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
