It emphasises that design’s purpose is to improve human experience and mobility — putting people first, not aesthetics. It reminds me that every design decision should serve real users, their needs, comfort and accessibility.

Creativity—Chinese traditional pattern
Developmennt—Human-centred design
Because I have limited theoretical knowledge in this area, I plan to read and study the latest research — for example, Human Centred Design Considerations for the Development of Sustainable Public Transportation in Malaysia (Jo Kuys et al., 2022) — in order to understand design principles of passenger experience, accessibility, and comfort in public-transport systems.
Development—Sustainable transport / Green mobility design principles
As developing green and sustainable vehicles becomes mainstream, I plan to study and refer to 交通运输规划设计与可持续发展研究 (Liang Zejun & Liu Xiaoyan, 2024) — aiming to master how to balance economic, social, and environmental needs at both vehicle and system levels.
In order to design more novel and avant-garde vehicles, I believe I still need to build system-level thinking and the ability to integrate future mobility trends. I plan to follow and study materials on future transport systems and mobility transformation — for example, the article “Skidmore, Owings & Merrill (SOM)’s future urban transportation design concept (2019)” — to understand the relationships between autonomous driving, drones, public-transport system design and urban planning.
Problems & Solutions
At present I mostly do sketches and creative ideas, but I lack sufficient understanding of “real user needs,” “system feasibility,” and “environmental impact.” Perhaps by reading professional research (such as on HCD, sustainable transport system design) and studying public-transport system design cases, I can gradually integrate a perspective of “user experience + sustainability + system thinking” into my designs.
Through the simple manifesto “Design moves people,” I try to express that vehicle design is not only about aesthetics, but about responsibility to people, society and environment. In the future, I will continuously study Human Centred Design, sustainable mobility design, system-level thinking and future mobility trends, integrating these into my design practice — striving to become a designer capable of creating transport vehicles / systems that are meaningful, inclusive and responsible.
