TAO CHANG | RESUME & EXPERIENCE

 

In the past 16+ years of my design journey, I had the incredible opportunities to work with several influential companies introducing new paradigm ideas across the fields from personal EV transportation, mobile electronics, connected IoT tech, and the future of medical robotics.

Through the lens of user-centric design thinking, I weave the threads between business insights, technology innovations, and user benefits into meaningful product solutions and services.
