MSc Product Design Engineering School of Design

Howard Chen

As a designer at IKEA in Taiwan, creating environments that brought joy to consumers and delivering a seamless shopping experience were my top priorities.

In mechanical engineering, clear communication and the accurate transmission of information are essential to building strong competitiveness for both myself and my team.

BoxVän is a product born from this design philosophy. It meets consumer expectations, addresses mobility challenges, and offers intuitive usability in its structure.

EGG

EGG is a handheld toy specifically designed for individuals with OCD and anxiety.

The yellow button, made from leather, emits vibration feedback that can only be felt through the user’s bones and skin, ensuring it doesn’t disturb others.

The red switch is a toggle, operated with the thumb, and features a balanced middle position to meet users’ needs.
