Yanjiayu Liu

Yanjiayu liu is a product designer based on China. In her design journey, she tends to devote herself to spreading and innovating Eastern traditional cultures, such as folk handicrafts and a cultural-based lifestyle. She wants to make the design become a bridge to connect the past and the present and provides people with more lifestyle possibilities. 

At the same time, she also pursues sustainable life aesthetics. She believes that sustainability not only includes environmental friendliness, sustainable design should also consider people's psychology and allow users to regard products as part of their life. Her design language is concise. Compared with the significant impact on people's lives, she recognizes that design should naturally exist in life and solve problems accurately and cleverly. 

Yanjiayu is a food lover. In her career plan, she dreams of owning her catering brand and creating more story-telling food designs with cultural connotations.

This project aims to questions people's food waste underlying behaviors, whether we have ignored the relationship between the food itself and us so as to waste food unconsciously. The final output is a set of tableware that encourages people to eat more attentively and brings people closer to food from the three aspects of concentration, sensory experience, and pleasant feedback.
