I am very delighted to be invited to join the monographic study club in seventh grade, which helps me deeply understand inBlooom, this distinctive Taiwanese brand. From assigning work, formulating interview draft, visiting inBlooom in person, organizing results of interview, making cyber exhibition, displaying special exhibition at school gallery to writing website draft, I am impressed and got benefit from every procedure of making project. A whole project needs making much effort and time to finish. Although the process is hard, it’s touching for everyone to work together on this project, and I believe this would become the most memorable memory in my junior high school life.

During the interview of inBlooom on this project, I realize how much efforts we need to make and learn about skills of designing interview questions and adaptability to new situations. I’m really touched by this enterprise, inBlooom, due to its contribution and emphasis on ecology. Besides, it also helps underprivileged groups strike a balance between family and work. Three co-founders aren’t afraid of hardship and work together for a common goal, that is to start a business from a small store. Afterwards, expand their business and design Taiwanese local patterns to show its spirit to the world. Whenever I see the drawstring of silk screen printing, I got a lot of admiration for them.

Through the briefing of the founder, Hana, we understand young people’s entrepreneurial process and the difficulties they will encounter. From classic patterns of inBlooom, we get to know Acridotheres Cristatellus Formosanus, the endangered indigenous species in Taiwan as Taiwaneses characteristics. It helps me get to know inBlooom’s features and their products by visiting and interviewing in person. Thanks to teachers’ arrangement of this visit, I can develop the abilities to ask and design interview questions. What’s more, I learn how to organize and analyze data, and I certainly benefit a lot from this project.

I gain the knowledge of silk screen printing after visiting inBlooom and experiencing DIY activity. During the interview, I get to know more about entrepreneurial process, pattern design and product manufacture. This is the first time for me to do the project and interview, and it’s a special experience. By visiting inBlooom’s website and works from the monographic study club, they provide the inspiration for writing the website content.

Before visiting inBlooom with the monographic study club, Hsin Yu and I had been to inBlooom once at the field trip. After listening to Teacher Hana’s briefing, I get to know more about inBlooom, and the information can’t be found online. It’s not easy for college students to start a business. Recently, due to the outbreak of coronavirus, it has had quite impact on its operation for lack of tourists. Hoping that the operation is becoming better and better after the coronavirus slows down. Participating in the monographic study club lets me understand there are much efforts made behind. After that, I have the concept of designing questions, and I get much benefit from this project.

I really like the monographic study club. At first, I entered the school club with the mentality of giving a try, and it’s interesting for me to interview and enter a competition. After knowing the theme of this project is to introduce the distinctive brand with printed fabric, I put my heart into it. It’s hard for me to express myself during the interview and introduction of designed patterns with stories in the beginning. Thanks to the encouragement and support of teachers and classmates, I conquer these difficulties finally.

This is my first time to do the project. When knowing the theme is inBlooom, I am interested in this brand through reading the information of inBlooom’s website. However, due to the coronavirus we delay the visit for several months. Eventually, we meet Teacher Hana at the art studio of inBlooom on Dihua Street. On the second floor, we listen to the briefing, experience DIY activity and interview. Teacher Hana introduce us about the brand, best seller and their philosophy enthusiastically. She lets me understand how entrepreneurs go through depression and face lots of difficulties during the process. Likewise, the process of doing the project helps me gain many knowledge and precious experience.

From searching for materials of the brand, visiting the stores and experiencing handmade experience to organizing materials together, all of the classmates cooperate with each other during the process. We spend lots of time completing the works with literal description and patterns. Through this project, I understand the concept and innovation of this enterprise. Their products tell the local stories of Taiwan. I was deeply touched by the drawstring with silk screen printing. The white fabric designs with different colors of patterns, and these patterns are full of Taiwanese characteristics. Besides, I got a lot of admiration for three co-founders to conquer those difficulties and run a business diligently.

Participating in this project lets me deepen the impression of inBlooom. When founders were college students, they conquered many difficulties to found this brand. They kept working hard to achieve their goal. From the process, I learn to persist in doing everything, even if encountering many difficulties, never give up easily. Just like an old saying “No pain, no gain!”

Through this project, I get to know the origin of inBlooom’s name and the story of entrepreneurs. In order to know more about this brand, we collect materials first, and spend much time preparing for the interview questions. We have waited for a long time to visit the brick and mortar store of inBlooom. On the day of visit, we listen to the briefing, experience the silk screen printing and interview the founders. It’s a memorable experience. InBlooom’s products can be seen everywhere, such as i-cash with printed fabric in 7-Eleven. Due to the coronavirus, inBlooom’s business becomes worse. Hoping through our introduction, more and more people get to know this brand. The business philosophy of inBlooom is to present local characteristics and value the environmental sustainability. Such a great brand it is!
