Principal's Story

The Path of Creative Design

Principal Shi's creative design journey began with dissatisfaction with the traditional education model. He observed that many excellent students in arts and sciences often fall into monotonous and low-income careers after graduation. It prompted him to choose a different path towards the fields of creativity and design. Firstly, he spent some time at a college affiliated with the University of Hong Kong and found that design education in Hong Kong requires a rapid pace, overly emphasizing vocational skills training while neglecting the cultivation of thinking patterns and creativity. Therefore, he resolutely chose to pursue further studies in the UK and was accepted by the interviewer with an exception. Received undergraduate admission to the University of the Arts London.

Study Abroad

The admission of the university opened President Shi's path to studying abroad, and at the same time, his college life became the most difficult period of his life, from being an academic leader to a struggling student. Due to not having received creative design from British high school, he struggled to attend university. Moreover, teaching in Hong Kong does not place much emphasis on research. So professors at the University of the Arts London often criticize his ideas for being too theoretical and lacking practical investigation, but they have never guided him on the correct methods, which has kept him in a predicament. This struggling state continued until the end of his sophomore year in college, almost causing him to fail.

When I was in my third year of college, President Shi luckily met his mentor, Cyril Shing。 He is not only a disciple of Zaha Hadid, but also a co designer of the Guangzhou Opera House. Under Cyril's guidance, Principal Shi gradually found his own design language and style. In his spare time, Principal Shi also participated in Zaha Hadid's project. During his university years, he actively explored innovative fields. Studied houses that can operate automatically. And published a research report on architecture that allows for self reproduction through autonomous thinking, similar to that of living organisms. With forward thinking ideas and rigorous arguments. In the end, Principal Shi graduated from the University of the Arts London with excellent grades. Obtain undergraduate and graduate degrees.

After graduation, Principal Shi returned to Hong Kong and became a brand consultant for the global fast food chain McDonald's, as well as a design consultant for luxury brands Hermes and LV, participating in the design of storefronts and jewelry. At the same time, he also participated in many art exhibitions with industry influence. The reason why he was able to explore such an industry is due to the design thinking and creative thinking he learned in university, which can be flexibly applied in various industries.

dream

However, commercial success did not satisfy him. He has always had a dream in his heart, which is to pass on the valuable experience and knowledge he learned in the UK to more people. Therefore, he resolutely devoted himself to the education industry. In the process of teaching, he is good at inspiring students, allowing them to gain artistic consciousness and elevate their thinking. In the end, the students he guides have all been admitted to numerous overseas universities and prestigious schools after years of hard work,

He successfully cultivated batches of excellent students, who not only achieved outstanding results domestically but also internationally.

The students he educated have already shone in various industries after graduating and returning to China, the UK, the US, and around the world. Among the graduating students are the contracted designer of Pop Mart, the marketing director of a Shenzhen chain clothing brand, the founder of an independent clothing brand in the UK, a globally influential photographer, and the overall business leader of a real estate company. Their teachings have had a positive impact on their careers.

Finally, he summarized his previous experiences in studying, working, and cultivating students. Co founded the Foshan Canadian Foreign Children's School Creative Design Institute with the Canadian Education Group. This school has the advantages of British education and uses British IGCSE, A-level and BTEC disciplines serve as academic foundations. By perfectly combining art and technology, cultivating students' design thinking and creative thinking methods, he hopes to help students who aspire to pursue innovation and design in the future avoid detours through this school.
