OpenRun Pro
Bone-Conduction Sports Headphone | Shokz | Production | 2021
OpenRun Pro was developed as Shokz’s next-generation flagship sports headphone, evolving an established product identity while integrating a new acoustic architecture. At frog, I helped shape the design direction and resolve key decisions across form, ergonomics, acoustics, and manufacturing. The product received multiple international design awards, ranked among the top three running headphones globally, and established a design language that carried into the next generation.

iTEAR
Dry Eye Syndrome Treatment Device | Arctic Vision | Production | 2022
iTear is a consumer-facing dry-eye treatment device that stimulates natural tear production through vibration. The client was bringing the FDA-registered product to the Chinese market and hoping to improve the product experience without creating regulatory risk. At frog, I led the user research and design strategy, developed and validated design directions, and stayed involved through industrial design refinement while personally owning the packaging design. The final product and packaging were commercially launched in 2024.

OpenMeet 2
Bone-Conduction Communication Headset | Shokz | Production | 2025
OpenMeet 2 is a professional open-ear communication headset for extended calls, meetings, and all-day office use. I joined the project as a freelance industrial designer collaborating with YIYU Design, developing concepts around a largely fixed hardware architecture. My focus was on integrating the headset’s complicated ergonomic structure into a cleaner, more coherent form. One of my directions was selected for continued development, and OpenMeet 2 has since launched commercially.

Project Aura
Open-Ear Earbuds Wearing Experience | Shokz | Strategy & Concept | 2021
Project Aura was a preliminary study for Shokz exploring the wearing experience of true-wireless open-ear earbuds in 2021, when the category was still unfamiliar to most consumers. Rather than developing a production-ready product, the project focused on understanding how people would perceive, learn, and wear this new form factor. I worked across user research and concept development, and solely established the wearing-experience principles that guided the team’s design exploration.

Kure
Smart Home Fragrance Diffuser | K° Fragrance Gallery | Strategy & Concept | 2024
Kure is a smart scent-pod diffuser developed for K° Fragrance Gallery to bring electronic fragrance into the premium home category. I led both product strategy and industrial design, shaping the opportunity from market research and product strategy through concept development and DFM discussions. The design combines a glass housing, wireless portability, and interchangeable scent pods to make fragrance technology feel more like a piece of home décor than an appliance.

Infinite M1 Pro
Dual-Mode Interactive Smart Projector | Hachi | Production | 2019
Hachi Infinite M1 Pro is a smart projector designed to work in two orientations: horizontally as an ultra-short-throw projector, and vertically to turn a tabletop into an interactive touchscreen. Working at designaffairs, I developed the selected concept and became the primary industrial designer through design development, prototyping, CMF, and DFM, delivering the design within a three-week development window.
