Activities & Programmes

Founder of Pinmo Design and Pinmo Pure Store. Former lecturer at NTUST and the Department of Applied Arts, FJCU. Richard Wang Ching-Fu was born in 1975 in Kaohsiung. Raised in the South exposed to an abundance of sunshine and nature, Wang was this kid with wild imaginations and critical thinking. Wang was also a kid who played a lot outdoors but not quite keeping up with school works. Fortunately, Wang’s family gave him a lot of freedom to explore his potentials, so Wang got to decide for himself what to do next. Wang’s childhood background and experiences are what makes him who he is today.

Wang’s strength lies in creative thinking, topic instigation, and integrated visual design. Wang is still that kid with wild imaginations when it comes to designing or simply taking note of daily sensations as inspirations. As for project implementation, it is an intuitive process that unfolds naturally.

Wang’s project, Sun Tanning, was awarded the most influential design in Hong Kong Design Week. Wang was a guest speaker at TEDxKowloon in Hong Kong, and one of the panel judges for the Golden Pin Design Award and the Young Pin Design Award. Wang owns four Pinmo Pure Stores in Taiwan where he introduces a series of paper oriented projects. Paper Lab, Plant Material Lab, and Sun Tanning Project are product lines for retail. Wang has also developed printing stores for small quantity printing.
