Hello ~ I am Johnny Jiasheng Chen.
I am an innovative Industrial / UX / Graphic designer currently based in Chicago.
I have 3 years+ of experience in design innovation, human-centered design, and cross-disciplinary practice — proficiency in design integration, user research, and fabrication. My practice includes digital fabrication, commercial product design, graphic design, and crafts. Passionate about finding new experiences & possibilities to achieve design goals.
Nowadays, the definition of “designers” evolves rapidly. To keep up with the changing world, improving multiple skills, reflecting on the purpose of design, and seeking new perspectives to tackle problems are things that matter to me.
For me, every designed object is a convex ideological mirror, amplifying its creators' minds and practices.
In my viewpoint, a designer is a life planner who balances between dreams and reality. Who enables us to find suitable methods for the present condition, utilizing critical thinking, researching skills, artistic training, and good communication skills to cooperate with people in different fields.
