Samuel Chiou

Kingston School of Art

I'm a designer from Taiwan with an academic background in architecture and several years of experience in residential and spatial design projects. Over time, I realized my growing interest in product design, materials, and the interactions between people and objects. This led me to pursue a Master's degree in Product and Furniture Design in the UK. My current practice explores the intersection of material innovation, sensory experience, and sustainability. Recent projects include developing biodegradable packaging from banana peels and creating scent-based interactive installations that connect smell with memory. I see design not just as a problem-solving tool, but as a medium for dialogue and emotional resonance.

Working with our partners at Arts Thread to develop lifelong learning and career opportunities for students of fashion and design. Our partnership provides the opportunity to compete on a world stage, participate in industry led workshops, set up an outstanding portfolio and gain access to the resources that will kickstart careers in fashion and design.
