Q1. Please provide us a brief bio of yourself.<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n

Yingu<\/strong>: I’m Yingu Pan, an urban designer at the Boston Planning and Development Agency. My academic background includes a Master of City Planning from MIT, obtained in 2023. And a Bachelor of Architecture from the Illinois Institute of Technology, completed in 2016.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My professional experience spans work with internationally recognized architectural firms such as Sasaki. And SOM in cities like Boston, Chicago, Shanghai, and Hong Kong. The passion for urban design is enhanced by my interests in photography, railroad modeling, antique collecting, and travel. These pursuits enrich my creative process. Enabling me to integrate a nuanced understanding of urban dynamics and sustainability into Unibike’s product design.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Zhongqi<\/strong>: I am Zhongqi, a product designer based in Boston, blending a Master’s degree from Columbia University with over five years of experience in UX\/UI design. I specialize in crafting innovative solutions that impact daily life across various sectors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Currently, I lead design projects at Electric Hydrogen Co, focusing on IoT enterprise products. From conception to market launch, aiming to steer the energy industry towards zero emissions. I also co-founded TA Design Studio, mentoring over 50 design students, and partnered with Yingu Pan to launch Unibike Co. Where we develop electric shared bike systems, contributing to sustainable urban mobility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q2. What inspired you to pursue innovation in your field?<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n

Yingu<\/strong>: My path to product design stemmed from a foundation in urban design. And architecture, coupled with my varied personal hobbies. Initially, I was drawn to the macro aspects of city planning. And architecture, aiming to understand and shape the environments that influence human interactions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Through my urban design experience, I encountered diverse design philosophies and saw firsthand how each urban element affects human life. The shift to product design came with the realization that the principles used to create functional, sustainable, and visually appealing urban spaces. Could be similarly applied on a smaller scale in product design. My hobbies sharpened my attention to detail and appreciation for history and user experience, all vital in product design.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Zhongqi<\/strong>: My passion for visual aesthetics and the joy of creating beautiful designs drive my career. As a UX designer, I am positioned at the intersection of design, technology, and psychology. This unique blend not only enhances my ability to contribute meaningfully. To the field but also empowers me to improve human experiences effectively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
