As background information, I personally believe designer should be a good user before designing products. With skilled user-point of view, designers should judge their work, "Do I really use it in daily life as a user?" and finally introduce their work in the market with responsibility.

So designers should try and error with hands, design things "I" use first then secondary someone would like. In this competition, I shaped my belief into reality.
