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

I am Zerong Yang, a multidisciplinary designer at the intersection of design, engineering, and business. With a Master\u2019s in Industrial Design, a Bachelor\u2019s in Mechanical Engineering, and a Certificate in Technology Entrepreneurship, I specialize in crafting innovative, functional, and commercially viable products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My approach blends design creativity with engineering precision and business insight to transform ideas into impactful solutions. I am dedicated to leading the integration of these disciplines to create products that not only meet user needs but also drive business success.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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


My interest in design began in childhood with dreams of becoming an inventor, driven by a penchant for taking things apart and reassembling them, combined with a love for math, physics, and solving problems. These interests guided me to pursue a Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Soon after, I recognized the significance of ergonomics and user-focused design in making meaningful products, which led me to further explore the field of design to enhance my engineering background.<\/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

I founded Clink Design Inc., a startup focused on improving the lives of pets and their owners with inventive product design. In my role, I lead our product development and business strategy, staying aligned with our core mission: “Linking pets and owners through innovative design \u2013 Clinking to a stronger bond.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q4. What does \u201cdesign\u201d mean to you?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

To me, design is fundamentally about solving problems. It involves devising solutions that tackle real-world issues in a practical and elegant manner. More than just aesthetics, design is a meticulous process that entails grasping the nature of a problem, investigating various solutions, and developing a product that not only resolves the issue but also enhances the user experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q5<\/strong>. What’s your favorite kind of design and why?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I value design that seamlessly blends aesthetics with functionality to solve problems effectively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
