Inspired by inventors and driven by a passion for making lives better, he combines a strong foundation in design, research, and systems engineering to create meaningful solutions that help people achieve their goals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Bo Bao Q1<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Hi, I\u2019m Bo Bao, a Senior UX Designer at Zoox, an Amazon-owned robotaxi company. My work focuses on creating products that help AI specialists advance self-driving technology and empower operators to provide seamless ride-hailing services. Before Zoox, I led design research for assisted driving technologies at Ford. With a strong foundation in design, research, and systems engineering, I strive to connect people with technology in meaningful and effective ways.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I always got inspired when I heard stories of famous inventors. I wanted to be one of those who make people&#8217;s lives better by bringing in creativity. Later I realized that creativity wasn&#8217;t enough, but the development of the ideas is more critical. I found design to be the perfect career for individuals like me who are motivated by bringing creativity to life<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We are friends who are brought together by design. We seek opportunities to bring creativity and ideas to solve people&#8217;s problems by practicing our skills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Q2<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Design means the process of finding better ways to achieve people&#8217;s goals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My favourite designs provide better ways for people to achieve their goals, and make them excited about the new way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Good&#8221; means passing the minimum bar but not &#8220;great&#8221; yet. So, a &#8220;good&#8221; design would provide a better way to let people achieve certain goals, but it might be boring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We found teenagers receiving therapy would use a card deck as assistance. But all the cards in the market look very boring. We sensed opportunities for designers to help here. Then we did research and found the quality of cards plays an important role in patient engagement, which is a critical part of the therapy and gave us confidence in the idea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A keen eye for identifying the problem, and engagement in the video game community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/tingchendesign\/?hl=en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer
