A practical product designer from China. In my four year’s working experience force on IoT products, several of my design product’s sales number over a million. And the winner of Red Dot, Good Design in 2019. The large sales number makes me realise how big a responsibility we carry for each design; a simple line we draw will repeat over a million times. Thus, I agree that justifying our decisions is essential to our design. And for me: I love the journey to discover what people need and make it come true as a product. I have applied this journey to my final project.

Link Necklace
A product aimed at strengthening a couple’s long-distance relationship. In my research, I have found that if each member of a long-distance couple shares the details of their lives with their partner, it will help them to understand each other and lead them to have more quality conversations. This product, worn as a pendant, makes it easy for users to make video and audio recordings of their feelings and what they did during the day. At the end of the day, the product will create a short video based on this record and send it to the partner. Thus, both partners can give more appropriate responses to each other.
