I . T A IJOY I-LO TAI INDUSTRIAL DESIGNER

As a product designer, I’ve gained an understand-ing of the design process from writing proposals to manufacturing a product. I have experienced differ-ent phases of designing (CMF, INT, Prototype, Re-search, 2D & 3D) in a design & engineer consultancy, where clients such as Samsung, Google, Nike, Tp-link strongly rely on for their product lines. Being fluent in both Mandarin and English has benefit me in negotiating between design consultancies and manufacturing companies.

Raised and brought up in many culturally diverse countries (South Africa, Singapore,Taiwan, Los Angeles, Canada), I have enhanced the ability of fast adaptation to new environment and workspaces, I’ve learned to solve design problems with a tena-cious and critical nature, developed independence in project managements, carry an organized behavior and the interest in acknowledging sustainable issues from a global perspective.

To meet the balance between client’s demand and the aesthetic details of design
