ABOUT ME

Ningle Zhang

WHO AM I?

Hi, I’m Ningle Zhang, and my English name is Edward Zhang. I was born in Shanghai, China. My father is an architect, so I was greatly influenced by his design drawings and processes, which nurtured my interest in art. As a child, my father often spoke about architectural designs from around the world, sparking my fascination with different design styles and inspiring me to travel and observe the world. I firmly believe that all design originates from life, and that experiencing life more deeply is the key to becoming a better designer.

WHY DESIGN?

I’m motivated by creating beautiful shapes that solve others' pain points and are appreciated by people. My goal is to make designs that bring happiness and become useful in daily life. I’m passionate about making detailed and attractive designs that not only catch the eye but also provide value.

My design philosophy centers on bringing joy to others. My Chinese first name, Ningle, translates to 'fostering happiness' , a value my parents instilled in me, encouraging positivity and spreading it to those around me. I strive to incorporate this essence into all of my designs, creating products that inspire smiles who experience them.
