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!
