T's Living Room 08｜在行业内外持续创造的建筑、城市与平面设计师们; Designers Creating Beyond Work: Architecture, Urban, & Graphic

本期TT客厅邀请了几位建筑、城市与平面设计师，聊聊他们在美国不同领域的经历、离开学校后的落差，以及对建筑行业的观察。从职场新人的话语权困境，到设计与商业价值的平衡，再到3D打印、品牌策划和空间平台的副业尝试，他们不仅在专业中不断探索与取舍，也在工作之外持续保持创造力。无论你是设计专业的学生、年轻职场人，还是对创造力充满好奇的人，都能在他们的经历里看到关于长期主义、决策力与跨界创造的启发。In this episode of T’s Living Room, we sit down with architects, an urban designer, and a graphic designer to talk about their experiences working in different fields in the U.S., the discrepancy between academia and industry in design, and observations of the architecture industry. From navigating decision-making as junior designers, to balancing creativity with commercial value, and pursuing entrepreneurial efforts like 3D printing, brand strategy, and AI-driven platforms connecting brands with spaces — these designers show how creativity continues both within their professions and beyond. Whether you’re a design student, a young professional, or simply curious about creativity, you’ll find inspiration here in stories of long-term vision, decision-making, and cross-disciplinary creation.—嘉宾Guests：Stella- USC+哥大建筑设计专业。主业经历residential/interior design，房产中介；创立3D打印品牌LR Design。USC + Columbia Architecture.
