Hi there! I'm Xue Ting
I am a curious design engineer focused on exploring the synergies of research, design, and engineering for product innovation. I enjoy ideating creative applications that integrate engineering design methodologies and technologies to augment human-computer interactions and create design solutions that solve problems for people and our environment.
My fascination to understand why and how things work has led me to explore various opportunities in the field of design, engineering, and research and drives me to kickstart meaningful personal projects and collaborations. Good design is not only intuitive of its functionality, it also reflects meanings and evokes appropriate emotions. In its essence, good design sparks conversations between people and their environment.
I stay curious and active in upskilling by attending courses on data science, machine learning, and UX/UI design, and try my best to keep fit with one dance session per week.
[Currently based in sunny Singapore.
Open to collaborations and opportunities in the broader design space for social impact and sustainability.]
Design & Engineering
I am trained as a design engineer and built my skills throughout various projects and professional experiences. My past design engineering experiences include building sensors at Edyza Inc. and designing custom breast molds for reconstructive surgeries at NDR Medical Technology. View my other projects in Works.
My teams have won the Gold Prize at the Sixth International Students Joint Capstone Design Project (i-CAPS) Competition 2018 and the Excellence Prize at E2 Festa 2018.

Research & Development
As a research engineer in my early career, I have developed robust methodologies for engineering design research and development, to help brainstorm and produce new product use cases for the lab. Advocating a spirit of experimentation, I learnt to not shy away from failures and strive to keep trying till the team achieves desirable outcomes.
