Who am I?

I’m RuNing Zhao, a master’s student in Product Design. My work
moves between body awareness, material, culture and consciousness — I
prefer designing with empathy rather than haste. I see design as a way to
connect people and nurture awareness of what truly matters.

Why am I running?

I want to help shape the student council as a space of openness,
mindfulness, and mutual support. I listen carefully, think across
disciplines, and care about making sure every voice is heard — especially
the quiet ones. Diversity, cooperation, and genuine communication matter
deeply to me.

If you had the choice, which cafeteria meal would you be and why?

I’d be stir-fried vegetables with rice — warm, healthy, and
colorful. Simple, but full of life.
