Growing up in a multi-cultured childhood enables me to better think outside of one box. I am able to pinpoint the markert using my professions and execute the design. Bring about creative problems and are able to find the most suitable solution is also one of my strong points.
find designing facinating and enjoy every bit of the process. Leading in a team has made me more responsible and better at time planning. +886 909491555 jameschen4125252@gmail.com Taiwan | New Taipei City HELLO!

Origami Raincoat
- A raincoat designed from origami structures, for a better rain day experience
7
Origami structure
Through gently shaking the raincoat, the structure enables it to fold itself neatly, making putting away the wet coat much easier.
The structure has both Utility patent and invention patent, proving the value of such stucture used in fabric
9
Rain Coat Issues
Where do people usually hang their raincoats after usage ?
Little to non raincoats have put “putting away“ into design, so we hope to maufacture a fast and easy put away raincoat

Hivepatterns.
Material
The final model was made from 100% polyester with anti stick net patterens inside the coat, while as on the outside we added a layer of TPU water resist spray.

12
Origami Structures
Starting off with paper structures, then transforming into 1:10 scale fabric to test out actual structure
Choosing between which has the most durable structure for human wear and convenient storage.
13
Process of structure
By changing the structure pattern of the raincoat, we are able to use the aspects from the origami structure to enable the fast self-folding innovation.
15
16
Improvements
Through the design process, we are now able to let users have a fast put on and take off raincoat, with minimum required space and folds itself with a few shakes.
With enough room for a backpack inside the user won’t ever have to worry about getting their backpack wet.
The length covers most of the leg up till the ankles assuring that less rain is splashed onto legs.
17
Design details
Zipper Highligh holder
An upside down zipper was designed to improve the wearing speed, the user has to use little to no effort finding the zipper and with one single zip downwards, the zipper is closed.
Neck area
Increased length on the neck area allows the user to cover up higher to prevent water from entering from front.
The highlighted area works as the user holds the light area and
18
as both a visual inpack and a functional working place holder, and gives a little shake to fold the coat.
Reflective stripes
Reflective stripes on the back has been added for more safety features during rainy days.

- Know who and where the product is used after bought
- Know what are the limitations the product needs (Volts, types of plugs etc.)

- final 3D and prototype making

Convenient pot study
Know what are the features the product is marketed with, a convenient pot features to fry, broil, steam, and lots more, by knowing the key point features allows us to be prepared for what users are looking for and expecting to by when shoping.
By collecting basic data from our users allows us to have who we might be targeting and therefore makes it easier keting strategies and design direction.
Product scenario study allows us to know how the user uses the product, where it’s been used and what happens before, during and after product usage.
After knowing the basic date from our users we would then questionair designed for finding the potential problem that even able to pin point.

Convenient pots were made for people without a kitchen like students or people that doesn’t have as much time to cook in a kitchen.
then set out and make a that our users might not
That means our design will surround phrases like quick, fast, easy, and based one the key points we will need to set a more specific group of users, we chose college students as the groups design can cover more catagories.
25 Market analysis
Target Audience Issues found Experiments
Due to electrical needs, most convenient pots have electric port exposed and making it unsafe to wash.
To lower the manufacture cost, most have uneven heatings, causing some food to get burnt while others raw.
Our product direction is based effective way to bring about evening the best meal evey time
Before doing any design, we analysed the best sellers on the market breaking the information down to help with our further research.
Afrer we did hand to hand contextual visits with a few users, marking down their every move in order to find out what the consumers actually need and what they want.
We changed the surface for the heat more effectively, thus won’t

The A3 report is the design value of this class, with the specific set of rules used the report will contain consumers valuse and opportunity points
the heated plate, using shapes that even out won’t burn food on the old flat surface plain.
Through the report we are able to clearly identify what is the main reason that consumers will care about and what innovative design we experimented and results of design.
A3 report
Best food everytime
Through changing the way heat distributes into the pot affects the cooked texture of food, we were able to find the best consistency throught our experiment, allowing us to be able to cook the perfect vegetable every time using Q-pot.
Q Pot
An easy to use convenient pot that is safe for washing, heats up more even and lets one carry it around with much more ease.

Razo Travelers razor
- Never again scrape your face from disposable hotel razors
33
Issues
Space Style Quality
Plastic razor blades provided in hotels are often cheap and dull, 10/10 times will scrape your face with the cheap blades.
Razo’s shape is designed for minimal space used in a travelers bag.
Razo’s goal is to provide a pop colour style within the more cold minimal styles of today.
34
Accessory overload
Yes, electronic razers are easy to use but they are super large in size, and you need to carry a charger along with you.
Blunt blades
Disposal shaving blades are the worst experience one can get, it almost feels like scraping your beard with sand paper.
35
36
Plastic waste
More and more rubbish are dumped into the ocean everyday, a big part of which are undissolvable plastic.
Animals are the victims of our doings, therefore I wish to design a enviromental friendly razor for people that travel often.

Usertesting.
The lid covers the blades when not in use, keeping hygen as a top priority.
The arc shape coincides perfectly with our face, thus having clean and smooth shaving experience
The body keeps the whole razor together, user can disassemble and put on prefered colours.

The lines resemble tire patterns that throw our excess water

Blades design
Blades uses a rolling mechnism for trimming off hair, as the blades inside rotate, hair sticking inside will be snapped off.

NesCafe Packaging design
- Combining the NesCafe coffee with distinctive native Taiwanese animals for Second life packaging
Collabration with

Concept moodboard
The main concept is to provide second life packaging instead of thowing away after one time opening
We combined classic bed time story with finger shadows for the bridge of parents and children
Allowing children to play with a character and four scenarios to collect
The main characters used for the design comes from animals that originated from Taiwan to increase the connection between learning and fun

臺灣獼猴
臺灣藍鵲
We included the altitudes and habitant enviroments into the packaging design in order to educate our users more on the animals natural habitant.
Flow of packaging
We wanted to sell the packaging as a set, therefore connection between the individual boxes were necessary
When the four boxes are put together they will show a inclined backgroung representing the different altitudes of each animal
