The reason for choosing to study PDM is that I was particularly interested in cars when I was young, thinking that many car designs looked very cool. I learned that this involves knowledge related to industrial design. What interests me most is rendering skills, as these can make the products I design more realistic and visualized through software. Currently, I have not yet considered my future career.

Leaf collector

Every autumn during the leaf-falling season, a large number of leaves accumulate in the garden, which poses a significant problem for the aesthetics and cleanliness of the garden. The project I designed is a product for efficiently collecting leaves during the leaf-falling season. It includes several important solutions.

  1. The internal structure is convenient for maintenance and disassembly.
  2. Adapt to various complex natural environments
  3. Replaceable collection bag
  4. The hard product shell

The product is entirely yellow-green, which is to adapt to its outdoor characteristics and better fit its usage environment.

The exterior of the product is composed of a triangular PC material frame, which provides good support. The integrated design greatly reduces costs, and the connection to the sponge material handle at the back offers users a great gripping experience.

The four-legged universal wheel is similar to a shopping cart in a supermarket, where users can push and pull, controlling the direction of the product's movement.

The product has a protective shell similar to most outdoor products. The PC material protective shell at the front can prevent small stones and other debris from damaging the product
