Q1. Please give us a brief bio of yourself and your background.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’m Eli Hong, an interaction designer specializing in emerging technology design. I’ve been fortunate to shape the future of technologies like AI, self-driving cars, and VR. My contributions have led to several patents and awards, impacting industries from transportation to production. I have worked with renowned institutions such as Peking University, Stanford Healthcare Innovation Lab, Collective Future, and now Robert Bosch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At Bosch, I pioneered the way we interact with tomorrow’s technology as a senior interaction designer and design leader and had the privilege of seeing my designs influence new technological forms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q2. What made you become\/why did you choose to become a digital designer\/artist?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’ve always felt that design should harmoniously bridge technology and humans. I started with urban planning and design, fascinated by how physical space connects people. But I’ve seen technology reshaping human-machine interactions. Given my skills in data and understanding human behavior, it felt natural to dive into digital design, which has the vast potential of digital interfaces to connect us \u2013 including human-to-human, human-to-machine, and even human-to-AI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q3. Tell us more about your business\/company, job profile, and what you do.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This work contributes significantly to optimizing our production processes and enhancing our customer offerings. My commitment to excellence involves rigorous user testing and the construction of simulation environments to validate our designs. A prime example of this is setting new standards for driver assistance technologies, which I have been instrumental in developing and validating in close partnership with our engineering teams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My role extends to strategic collaboration with research departments, leading the advancement of emerging technologies with a human-centered perspective. In addition, I take pride in fostering professional growth in the company by mentoring peers and sharing Bosch’s latest innovations through structured coaching and education initiatives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q4. What\u2019s your favorite kind of digital design and why?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I love designs that foster respectful and meaningful interactions between humans and technology. Like a good conversation between friends, the conversation between people and machines should be enriching and seamlessly become part of everyday life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q5. To you, what makes a \u201cgood\u201d design?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Good design combines human needs with engineering feats. It stands at the crossroads of art and technology, built on robust decision logic, backed by research, and evolves into principles that guide future innovations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q6. Describe your design style and its main characteristics.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

My designs are clear and instructive, especially when crafting design guidelines. When I apply design to impactful real-world challenges, they are friendly and precise. Ensuring users feel valued and cared for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
