Observing through design. Exploring through life.
Jin
Cheng
I study industrial design at Nanjing Agricultural University, with a focus on intelligent products, interaction and systems. I turn an understanding of people's needs into products, interfaces and working prototypes.
Outside design, I enjoy photography, sports and travel. I photograph the places I visit and the everyday moments in between.
Three scales
From personal emotion and bodily safety to a shared ecological system. Three projects ask how invisible conditions can become perceptible, discussable and testable.

CO-CREATION · BUILDING WITH AI
Starting with a personal need
Two local prototypes shaped by everyday needs and developed with AI. Small tools to use, question and keep improving.
GrowthEvery iteration has a starting point.Keep images and their iterations together on one canvas.
Connect understanding, everyday action and long-term records.
BOOKLET · OBJECT, PACKAGE, IDENTITY
Beyond the full cases
A toaster, a tea package and an independent bookstore. Studies in how form, material and visual identity shape everyday experiences.
Warmth
Conveyor Toaster
A countertop appliance redesign that makes progress visible, accommodates more bread types and lowers the cost of small mistakes.

Jin
Cheng
An industrial design student working across intelligent products, wearable interaction, brand and systems. I move from research and product definition into hardware, data, physical prototypes and interfaces.
One thread
The three core projects move from emotional self-awareness to bodily safety and then to a multi-stakeholder ecological system. They are not isolated briefs; together they show an expanding design scale.
