Andy Lee.

I am the founder and lead product designer of Right Group CO., Ltd. (hereafter RG). RG originally started as a Full-Service Design and Printing company back in 1985 where we established our special expertise in various printing coatings. But In 1995, we saw an untapped and growing market on lens and screen protector for electronics products like cameras, hand held PDA and mobile phones, We decided to leverage and expand our expertise from print coatings to optical film coating as well to leverage on this trend.

This strategic decision pays off when Apple

I always loved smart and simple design, be it a simple piece of artwork or a smart product I can find in the market. When Right Group is still a printing company, my interest is never only on the printing aspect of my business, I am also very curious and interested on what my clients do for their business that requires my printing service. The idea of creating a viable product from scratch using innovative technology and smart concept to solve a problem always intrigue me. The boom of the consumer handheld devices in the mid 90s gave me a chance to fulfil this long calling of mine, this is where I started our flagship brand name Monifilm, where I began my journey as a full-fledged designer and heavily involved in the research, design and development aspect of screen protection related product.

To me, the A to Z of designing a product is a very challenging yet enjoyable process, especially when the end product is well received by the user the design is intended for

Right Group Co, Ltd was originally Established in 1985 as a full service design and printing company.

We are now one of the leading screen protector manufacturer and developer of screen protection products and optical film solution for consumer electronic and industrial applications, with a network of clients and business associates that streched across USA, ME, EU, Japan and Asia.

As a General Manager, my main job internally is to make sure my team have the resources and environment to put up the best at their job functions. Externally, I try to build and maintain a good relationship with the various supplier. But the most enjoyable part of my work is being the lead designer, apart from my own input, a big part of my work is to bring out and integrate various talent and idea of my design team to create a workable and market driven product.

Design is a skill that combines creativity, problem-solving skills, innovation and the undaunted passion to make a positive impact with the end product. It

First and foremost, a good design need to Human-Centered, with a deep understanding user needs, behaviors, and preferences. But a GREAT design can do more than just that.

Our design begins with identifying trending or pressing consumer needs with constant market research, follow by meaningful feedback from our existing B2B clients. From there our team begin to brainstorm on all kinds of possible solutions, not only based on the expertise we owned but also other resources and expertise we may need to expand.

The most challenging parts will be the

Even though Taiwan by far is one of the most cosmopolitan society in Asia, yet located in a area with a hot and wet summer, a rainy winter, autumn of hurricanes and it is also within the area of earthquakes, most Taiwanese are strong believers in respecting and adapting to nature and often seen as cultured, hardworking yet tough and vigilant. This is why it is like a second nature of me to adopt a more

We are very grateful with the prestigious jury recognized our design effort. Winning the NY Product Design Awards, especially in the Social Design for Sustainability mean a great deal to our design team, because the winning product [Snap To Hide Eco Flex | Antivirus Magnetic Privacy Screen Protector] was our very first

Snap to Hide Eco Flex is the market first Eco-Friendly Magnetic Privacy Screen Protector that is made from Monifilm's latest EcoFlex Technology.

This technology uses Bio Degradable Triacetate Cellulose or TAC as core material to Reduce 80% Carbon Emission during production and is integrated with Monifilm's award winning

The unprecedented market disruption from the covid pandemic had challenge us to rethink our corporate product design approach to focus not on a product core functionality, but also on adding health, safety and eco friendly element to the design mix.

Snap to Hide EcoFlex magnetic privacy screen protector integrated two of our otherwise very different product concept and created something very different from what we had been doing for years.

Because Screen Privacy & Anti Bacteria/Virus Screen that require 2 rather very different expertise. Adding to this challenges ,are the unforeseen lockdowns & quarantine regulations from different parts of the world.We realized the need to make full use of any remote working technology we can get and started an AD-HOC team to quickly integrate resources from both teams and supplier to accelerate and get back the momentum of design and development.

In short, this is an ambitious design where we require new focus on adding anti-virus, anti-bacteria and using a biodegradable core material in response to what we believed to be the next emerging post pandemic trends

Winning a design award apart from giving all the team members a sense of pride and honor to their hard work, it helped us have a better grasped of whether we are heading in the right direction of the design trend. It also helps our design capability to be make known to a wider reach of people, opening up new gateways of opportunities to further our pursue for great market driven design

The design industry will be gearing towards a more seamless integration of human driven design, IOT technology, sustainability, and ad-hoc collaboration. Product design will need to go beyond just the aesthetic look and functionality but also need to create meaningful, impactful, and sustainable products for the future. Staying agile, flexible, well informed and educated on all these emerging trends will become a prerequisite for any designers to stay ahead of the game.

Function matters, Quality matters, Beauty matters, Human Touch matters, just like the 4 wheels of a car, you need all four to work together to move far ahead. This is very true in design, work and life as well.
