RubyMaky , Mak Ming Huen

Experience , Emotional & Entertainment Products Designer

RubyMaky is someone who is chasing for poetic sensitivity by the unique perspective.
I aim to find out every small story moment in our daily life which brings people emotional well being.

______________________________________________________

I aim to create design which can ease people’s tension and emotions.



Well being design is something that humans keep on chasing for thousand of years, but normally the designs are too straightforward , not subtle and poetic.



There are many things which always appear in our daily life , that can bring us well being ,but we always ignore them



For my target, I hope to find out all those hidden tiny things in our daily life and combine them with different designs in an aesthetic way to bring people emotional well being.



In the future , people will start to express experience and emotional design in an Implicitly and poetical way.



In the future , AI will expand everywhere.
And the last fort left for humans is sensitivity.

Mentalok 慢得樂

Invited Sticker Creator

慢得樂的形成
2019年,慢得樂的其中一位聯合創辦人,Edwin被診症為患上抑鬱症及焦慮症,在確診前半年,他在不知原因的情況下,長期處於情緒低落的狀態。而在2020年4月18日,他再次患上抑鬱症及焦慮症。這一次他不斷尋求協助。他嘗試打了精神健康的熱線,但是覺得對方根本不了解自己的問題。最後,他在機緣巧合下遇上了一個Telegram患者的群組,令到他決定建立一個平台提倡患者之間的溝通,以達致互助的作用。

願景與使命
慢得樂的成立的基於三個原因,
1. 精神病患者能夠有一個抒發情緒的地方
2. 我們希望為人尋回快樂的感覺
3. 我們提倡精神健康

為達到我們的願景,慢得樂希望建立一個精神病患者的社區,及鼓勵患者與患者的溝通,以達致互助的結果。長遠,慢得樂亦希望與不同組織合辦活動,推廣精神健康。
