CHENG JINYINGABOUT ME
CV
“To tell a story by creating things.”
My personal keywords to design are: poetic, timeless, functional.
I'm Jinying Cheng, an industrial designer graduated from Advanced Product Design, Umeå Institute of Design, Sweden. I'm passionate about creating things that are both timeless functional and beautiful. My process typically starts with rough ideas, evolves through sketching, and develops further through digital modeling - it's a fluid, iterative approach that feels like shaping clay into its final form. What drives me most is the story behind each design and how it solves real problems. My interests in renewable energy, automation, and environmental stewardship converge on a key question: how do we balance technological progress with natural and cultural well-being?
Always glad to connect - feel free to reach out!

Introduction:
RAYET is the next generation deployable warning sign that traffic police rely on to create a safe working environment around them in traffic situations.
It provides increased safety and a better user experience on multiple key points compare to the existing solution:
It is more compact and portable during transport.
It weighs less, due to a unique perforated fabric that makes it less sensitive to wind and hard weather.
It is quicker to deploy when it matters, with button activated leg extensions.
It has an increased visibility by being higher in size and with a lit-up light feature behind the fabric.
It is furthermore equipped with a unique system with a 360° sensor-activated camera and red light at its top. The sensor-activated speed camera will not only capture vehicles moving towards the police officers at too high a speed, it will also start flashing to notify and warn everybody at the scene, including the driver of the approaching car.
This project was done in collaboration with the Police and the Police Education Unit in Sweden.
