品牌與藝術家介紹

　　蘇彩燕是 Epoch Design Studio（世紀設計工作室）的創辦人及UI／UX設計顧問。「世紀」主要業務包括：設計、網頁開發、動畫設計、電子化教學內容，遊戲開發與宣傳，以及為互動性廚房用品和家電做原型開發。

　　在創辦跨世紀前，彩燕曾在美国和新加坡工作。她曾榮獲新加坡設計理事會（DesignSingapore Council）「青年設計師獎」（Young Designers Award），以及擔任新加坡國家圖書館李光前參考圖書館（Lee Kong Chian Reference Library）的研究員。她的研究圍繞著「設計類型學」（Design Typology）中的跨文化（cross-cultural）現象，探索著美學、文化影響與應用設計的微妙關係。她的研究成果曾發佈於不同的設計研討會，包括珀斯、芬蘭、瑞典和新加坡。

　　同時，彩燕也用心繪畫，並參與了新加坡、悉尼、北京和蘇州等團體設計藝術展。她的作品「生命那瞬間」（Moments of Life）使她在悉尼被認可為「新晉青年藝術家」（emerging young artists）。她的另一部作品「設計作為文化成品：博雅之城」（Design as Cultural Artefact: Eclecti-City）曾於新加坡設計嘉年華展展出，而獲得新加坡惠普公司支持的「機緣、運氣和意外」（Chance, Luck and Accident），還有「烏美，烏美！」（Ubi, Ubi!）則在新加坡藝術週展出。使用七彩斑斕的顏色與精湛的手工，彩燕的繪畫充滿了詼諧幽默，展示了平凡人在街道上的細微日常，更刻畫出了文化和平共處的相輔相成與融合。
