Molly Ping LEE I am a designer of Taiwanese background, who loves to experience new cultures. In the past, I sincerely devoted my skills and learnings to design creative, asesthetically rich products intended towards well being. The product design ranged from home care to electronic devices. As boundaries between physical and digital are becoming blurred, I can seamlessly work across both these disciplines. Apart from hands-on design skills, I am also interested in observing human behavior as it composes many stories that help in deep design thinking and developing better solutions.
