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. 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. Here is a website of some collections of my works.
Always happy to connect - feel free to reach out!
