Yikun Wang

Yikun’s focus on humans within her design process was evident from the way she works. She quickly took the initiative to get out of the studio and talk to real people and, importantly, to listen to them, to deepen her understanding of their desires. 

Yikun is a real wiz at whipping up low-fidelity prototypes, from paper sketches and simple clay form mock-ups to integrating hardware and functional electronics, she quickly discovers ergonomics and interaction behaviours through testing. She would refine these through thorough user testing, embedding insights from people within each next build. 

Moreover, Yikun is a real team player, with an ability to pause her own thought train and accommodate the views of all group members. 

Yikun is highly skilled in both design and engineering, so brings a truly rare combination of a broad vision and attention to detail at each phase of the design process.
