President Tsai Ing-wen (蔡英文) on Monday (Sept. 2) commended a young couple, both of whom are winners of International Design Awards (IDA), praising them for setting a good example for the young generation, Liberty Times reported on Monday (Sept. 2).
Tsai congratulated Hsieh Yi-cheng (謝易成), a brand designer, and Lin Jia-xian (林佳嫻), who specializes in interior design, for winning three awards between them, saying their achievement is a great encouragement to Taiwan’s creative industries, according to the Liberty Times.
