JENNY CHEN
“Hello! Nice to meet you, I’m Jenny Chen.”
Growing up in my family's product showroom, I saw handicrafts, home goods, and technologies, before they came to market. This blend of business and creativity allowed me to see my future in design.
Today, as a Design Thinker, it’s all about imagination, fifty, one hundred, two hundred years from now. It’s about blending psychology, emotion, and observation with conceptualization, communication, and lifestyle, all with the focus of crafting a human connection. Taking trends and futurecasting, I find opportunities to develop products and services that foster a positive connection and live well into the future.
