I.TAI JOY I-LO TAI INDUSTRIAL DESIGNER
To meet the balance between client’s demand and the aesthetic details of design
As a product designer, I’ve gained an understanding of the design process from writing proposals to manufacturing a product. I have experienced different phases of designing (CMF, INT, Prototype, Research, 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.
Highlights
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 tenacious and critical nature, developed independence in project managements, carry an organized behavior and the interest in acknowledging sustainable issues from a global perspective.
