Tracy Ma emphasizes that design is not just about conveying information, but can also challenge established visual and cultural norms. Her work, such as that for The New York Times , utilizes experimental typography and unexpected layouts to inspire viewers to reexamine the relationship between news and visuals

Ma mentioned that she views design as an exploratory process, experimenting with different tools and techniques and breaking the mold. This flexibility and openness make her works innovative and infectious

Many of her designs draw directly from her multicultural background, such as the intricate patterns and use of color found in Asian design aesthetics. By incorporating global cultural symbols, her work is more diverse and inclusive

Ma talks about how she often intentionally leaves some details “unfinished” to add authenticity and intimacy to her work. This "rough aesthetic" makes the work more authentic and reflects the imperfections of life itself

She emphasizes the importance of technology in contemporary design, especially the use of new tools and software to expand creative boundaries, but the core is still the expression and narrative of art

Remotely operated robots such as OriHime-D and Tele-Barista allow people with physical disabilities (such as ALS or spinal muscular atrophy patients) to complete tasks such as greeting guests, ordering, and even making coffee through eye movement or smart device operation, regaining a sense of value

This project breaks through the traditional employment model and provides "remote pilot" jobs for "bedridden veterans". This not only creates new social roles, but also gives people with disabilities economic independence and professional dignity

DAWN is more than just a café, it’s an experimental space designed to reduce loneliness. It uses robots and virtual social scenes to provide new ways for people with limited mobility to connect with society

Tele-Barista’s development process demonstrates the power of collaboration – combining user feedback, engineering and artistic design to achieve a robotic operating system that is both precise and user-friendly

Founder Kentaro Yoshifuji emphasizes that everyone ages and physical abilities may deteriorate. DAWN’s model provides feasible life and employment samples for social aging
