Background

About Ming Tsai

I combine experience from having been in an international design consulting agency and OEM/ODM with the goal of creating value-driven user experiences through empathy, clarification and simplification. Having an engineering degree in addition to a design degree, helps heighten my analytical skill to provide better thought out design solutions. I am a hands-on detail-oriented problem solver, proficient in transforming design challenges into marketable products with brand values in mind. With 10+ years of design consulting and strategic innovation combined, I maintain a passion for learning new technologies, processes and methodologies; particularly how they can assist in creating meaningful interactions and functions. On the side, I enjoy watching documentaries, design and engineering related shows, as well as collecting die-cast cars.
