HELLO THERE.

Nice to e-meet you. I'm Jia'en (Jaine), a multidisciplinary designer with background in industrial design. I'm also an occasional food scientist, and I come from the sunny island of Singapore ☀️

Since my early years practising human-centered design, I've been constantly inspired by the different roles and motivations of people. I enjoy nurturing my curiosity through exploring possibilities that are meaningful to both human and social experiences, and mining alongside for design solutions that are value-adding. Having plenty of opportunities to share in the interactions and dialogues with people from all walks of life also add to my personal learning experience I find valuable.

 

I always believe an original and thoughtful design lies in active listening, having a keen eye for details and the artistry to reduce. In every design space, I take pride in pushing boundaries and distilling complexities, chasing leads from different frames of reference through findings and my own intuition. 

 

I have committed myself in a spectrum of design projects; from healthcare and lifestyle products, spatial and retail experience, system and information design, to the educative and exploratory. I'm confident that my equipped skills, my passion and ever-learning attitude could bring forth design and innovation in the most relevant and purposeful way.
