MIIPS, 2025

This is how to say my name:

   

About

I am passionate about all things automotive – from autonomous driving technology, chassis tuning, and UI/UX design to exterior design aesthetics and the evolving intersection of technology and mobility. I believe that driving pleasure can go hand in hand with sustainability, and I am eager to delve further into crafting elegant solutions that harness the potential of a sustainable, enjoyable future in mobility. As the former US business unit head of a Multinational Corporation, I bring to the iii my fluency in team management, core program management skills, and practical business strategies that I can have trialed and accumulated over the years. Additionally, my deep interests in automobiles could potentially inspire the cohorts to create creative mobility solutions.

Why MIIPS?

My prior work experiences encompass Design, Engineering, and Business through various combinations. The MIIPS program prioritizes the above disciplines as crucial for fostering innovation, facilitating an in-depth exploration of design thinking. Through MIIPS, I wish to broaden my perspective via cross-discipline interactions, exchange thoughts with fellow cohorts, critically think and prototype solutions that address the challenge, and collaboratively grow to become innovators who strive to improve the world through innovative solutions.

Education

B.S. Physics and Computer Science at University of Southern California

Experience

My most recent work experience as the Business Development Manager at Golden Arrow Technology America Inc, where I strategized multi-year deals with key clients on upcoming projects and new material explorations while oversaw the company’s US business unit, coordinating with the Asia R&D team, production team, and board members to gain maximum back-end support.

What type of role are you looking to obtain after you graduate?

I aim to become a key player in the design space, whether that be a company's design team lead, a creative advisor, or starting out a business of my own, I wish to be of great contribution to my future team with the “vision” to bring ideas into reality.
