I'm Hsintzu "Cindy" Chang, an industrial designer working towards a master's degree at Pratt Institute with a bachelor’s degree in Applied Chemistry. My background in chemistry provides a logical mindset and helps me integrate scientific knowledge into my design process.
My studies at Imperial College London and the Royal College of Art have further enhanced my interdisciplinary skills and teamwork abilities. I have experience working on diverse design projects, including medical devices, furniture, consumer products, and home goods.
I am passionate about creating functional and aesthetically pleasing products that improve daily life by closely observing and addressing everyday challenges.
The design process starts with background research, which involves gathering information, exploring similar projects, and understanding the context. I conduct in-depth research, interview experts, and gather diverse perspectives to broaden my understanding.
Next, I begin sketching and rapid prototyping to explore different ideas and refine concepts. With each iteration, I narrow down my ideas, focusing on what aligns best with the design goals. As I move closer to the final design, I continue refining details, testing, and adjusting until I achieve a thoughtful, functional solution.
