Jia-Ruei Lin

An innovative industrial and interaction designer with strong observation skills and creative solutions.

I have two years of 3D modeling experience from HAITEC, a Taiwanese automotive company. In that position I learned the value of strict self-management and good team collaboration in order to accomplish the projects effectively. I was also a freelance designer at Reject Design Studio before coming to the US to further my education. As a freelance designer I took part in several projects that involved product design, corporate identity design and business planning.

An education in both engineering and design has helped me approach problems in a systematic way. In my experience with an automotive company I demonstrated that I am a fast learner, a good team player and reliable because it is very uncommon for an entry-level surface designer to take full modeling responsibility for two projects. My passion for design pushed me to join Reject Design Studio as a freelancer. I enhanced my knowledge in how to manage a design firm and increased my experience in different fields of design.

I'm currently pursuing my MFA degree. I believe my graduate studies will help me integrate my design experiences as an insightful designer concerned about people’s need in the future.
