Qihang Fan is an award-winning multidisciplinary designer, independent developer, and product owner. He is dedicated to creating experiences that embody inclusiveness, enjoyment, and innovation, seamlessly integrating avant-garde technology into everyday life for the next million users.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

My name is Qihang Fan and I am an award-winning multidisciplinary designer, an independent developer, and a product owner, dedicated to crafting experiences that embody inclusiveness, enjoyment, and innovation. I seamlessly integrates avant-garde technology into everyday life for the next million users.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With a solid foundation in architectural design, I have honed an astute appreciation for user experience and the dynamics of spatial interaction. My avid passion for technological advancements has furnished me with an extensive software repertoire, encompassing graphic design to 3D production, along with expertise in programming languages such as JavaScript, C#, and Python. Presently, I am pioneering the use of augmented reality to revolutionize surgical procedures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

As an independent developer, I established my brand with a clear and persistent mission: to create products that simplify the complex. My overarching goal has always been to make advanced technology easily understandable and enjoyable for everyone. A prime example of my work is a website I developed that offers web-based 3D interactive experiences. This platform enables users to deeply engage with intricate architectural and fashion design concepts, providing immersive 3D experiences even to those who lack access to XR devices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Currently, I am a user experience designer and product engineer at Arthrex, where I focus on utilizing augmented reality to enhance surgical procedures. My role involves exploring how augmented reality can revolutionize these procedures, combining my expertise in user experience design with groundbreaking product engineering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This work is gratifying as it enables surgeons to perform their operations with greater precision and safety. My passion for innovation is a driving force in my career, motivating me to deliver impactful and user-friendly solutions, whether working for an employer or running my own business. This lifelong commitment to exploring and implementing emerging technologies underpins all my professional endeavors.<\/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 perceive creativity to be about stepping outside of conventional thinking patterns. It involves breaking away from the usual approaches and norms to explore ideas and solutions that are not immediately obvious.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Creativity means looking at familiar situations through a new lens, asking different questions, and daring to be different. This approach allows for innovative breakthroughs and transformations in any field, pushing boundaries and challenging the status quo. It’s about thinking laterally and combining elements in novel ways to come up with unique and effective solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

To me, a ‘creative’ design doesn’t necessarily mean reinventing the wheel or building everything from scratch. Instead, it involves exploring different possibilities based on existing systems and knowledge. A truly creative design leverages mature design patterns effectively, using them as a foundation to build upon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s about seeing the potential for innovation within the familiar, pushing the boundaries of how established elements can be reconfigured or combined in new ways. This approach allows for the development of solutions that are both innovative and effective, pushing the envelope while ensuring reliability and functionality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q5. To you, what makes a ‘creative’ idea and\/or design?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In my role as a user experience designer and product engineer within an R&D team, my creative process is deeply intertwined with my development exploration. It revolves around a meticulous examination and careful balancing of design and development elements, ensuring that the designs we envision can be realistically implemented.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Design is fundamentally an iterative process, where creativity comes into play through constant re-evaluation and adjustment of ideas. Through this approach, creativity is not just about generating new ideas but also about problem-solving and refining these ideas to fit within the feasible scope of development, ensuring they meet both our standards and the users’ needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
