Hi

I'm Jinying Cheng, an industrial designer graduated from Advanced Product Design, Umeå Institute of Design, Sweden. I'm passionate about creating designs that are both functional and beautiful. Having worked in a cross-disciplinary design environment, and studied and lived in cities such as Copenhagen, Stockholm, and Shanghai, I have gained valuable solid skills and a critical aesthetic taste for design.
Always happy to connect - feel free to reach out!
