設計讓文化有了張力，飲食讓距離變得親近。
在桃園這座六都中最年輕、也是人口正成長的城市，它的「年輕」從不只是戶政事務所裡的統計數字，更是思想的前衛、大膽，以及對生活與文化的極致熱忱。作為一名擁有設計背景的雙語主持人，每次執行桃園的展覽或文化活動，最期待的就是看見在地故事與青年設計碰撞出的燦爛火花。
2026年8月15日，我受邀擔任桃園市政府青年事務局《地方共桌 Shared Ground, Shared Tables》特展開幕典禮的活動主持人。這不是一場繁文縟節的大型典禮，而更像是一場溫暖的風土聚會，與現場長官、貴賓以及桃園設計庫的青年設計團隊夥伴們圍坐在一起，共同見證傳統風土與當代美學轉譯的動人時刻。
展覽亮點
展覽以「飲食」為引、「設計」為語言，將桃園多元族群的飲食記憶轉化為極具視覺吸引力的當代展演。
身為對於視覺與審美有高度要求的設計師兼主持人，看見青年設計師們將濃濃的「台灣味」與中文字美學完美融合於展場細節中，每一次都能激起我心中的浪花，讓我對於「美」的胃口得到徹底滿足。
主持筆記
對於這類精緻、互動感強的展覽開幕，主持人的核心價值在於「拉近人與人的距離，營造溫馨而有質感的對話空間」。
Design gives culture tension. Food closes the distance.
Among the six special municipalities of Taiwan, Taoyuan is the youngest — and the only one whose population is still growing. That youthfulness isn't just a demographic statistic. It shows up in the city's ideas: forward-thinking, bold, and passionately engaged with design and lived culture. As a bilingual emcee with a design background, every time I work on an exhibition or cultural event in Taoyuan, what I look forward to most is watching local stories collide with young designers' vision and produce something genuinely luminous.
On August 15, 2026, I was invited to host the opening ceremony of the Taoyuan Youth Affairs Bureau's special exhibition, Shared Ground, Shared Tables. This wasn't a formal, protocol-heavy ceremony. It felt more like a warm gathering around a table — officials, distinguished guests, and the young design teams from the Taoyuan Design Library, all sitting together to witness the moment when traditional food culture and contemporary aesthetics meet and speak the same language.
Exhibition Highlights
Using food as its entry point and design as its language, the exhibition transformed Taoyuan's diverse ethnic food memories into a visually arresting contemporary showcase.
As someone with a design background who holds visual and aesthetic standards quite seriously, watching young designers weave the texture of Taiwanese food culture seamlessly into exhibition details — the typography, the material choices, the spatial rhythm — moved me every single time.
Hosting Notes
For a ceremony like this — intimate, interactive, design-forward — the emcee's core value is closing the gap between people and creating a warm, textured space for genuine dialogue.
