ABOUT ME
I am Keyu Deng, a curious, self-driven automotive design student who is passionate about bridging artistry and emerging technologies to future transport solutions.
When I went to the auto show for the first time when I was ten years old, the lines and shapes of those cars were deeply rooted in my mind, which drove me to draw my own invention, and made me think about the future of transportation at that age. Since 2018, I have majored in transportation design at ArtCenter, and gone to intern at various car companies. I filled my school life with perseverance training on skills, and my first internship experience at the GAC R&D Center really helped me re-established my design philosophy. I participated in a series of design tasks, including complete vehicles and car light parts, and also saw professional designers' ideas for the future. Working with excellent designers made me leave my comfort zone and think about what vehicles can be. I feel educating myself outside of the classroom gives me an insight on industrial aspects of design, such as sustainability, aesthetics, functionality and symbolic value. Besides, touched by my colleagues’ encouragement and willingness to help me, I believe in the power of team work and strive to do the same---- assisting teammates as much as possible. As a member of the team, I aspire to convert my ideas into reality to make my own contribution.
