I am a product designer with a background in industrial design. Currently, my research and project experience mainly focus on consumer electronics products. I am skilled at using user-centered design methods to understand user needs and generate creative product ideas. Apart from that, I also like to explore graphic design, interaction design, sound design, and even performances in my spare time. Engaging in these multidisciplinary activities keeps me energized and filled with inspiration.
However, my knowledge of engineering structures is somewhat weak due to my undergraduate emphasis on design methods and industrial design aesthetics. During this year’s course, I had the opportunity to apply cross-disciplinary knowledge gained from project practices, including materials, programming, manufacturing, ergonomics, and more, to understand how to design products from an engineer’s perspective. I believe this will positively impact my future product design career.
