About

I am Jiangke Chen, with a background in Industrial Design from the China Academy of Art and an MA in Service Design from the Royal College of Art. I have a forward-thinking and innovative design perspective, capable of generating trend-setting insights. I believe that in the AI era, designers must change and improve, avoiding the trap of 'technology-driven innovation.' While technological advancements are important, we must focus on the 'meaning' and 'why,' ensuring that AI solutions are user-centered and meaningful. Fortunately, one of the key strengths of service design is problem framing and gaining insights into user and market, technology and business trends.

 

I want to explore and practice the integration of business thinking, design thinking, and future thinking to propose desirable measures that address major challenges more swiftly.

 

During my time at RCA, I collaborated with Aegon to establish a retirement planning service. This platform visualizes users' futures as personalized, ever-growing islands, promoting sustainable investment and encouraging millennials to save for their future. Additionally, during the IRP, we created an emotion-centric AI platform with an emotional heat map that fosters immediate, empathetic, and safe connections.

Final Project

POND aims to create effective analysis tools and supportive social spaces through AI sentiment analysis technology and wearable devices, providing 24/7 instantly-responsive AI sentiment accompaniment, as well as a safe, instantly-connected community for sentiment sharing for young people who are away from home with a strong desire to express themselves emotionally, but have limited emotional awareness, management methods, or lack of people to confide in.


Our goal is to help users build a holistic sense of well-being that promotes personal resilience and growth by recovering from emotional difficulties and becoming stronger and more self-assured. With the help of AI, users can improve their emotional awareness and management skills, regain a sense of security and belonging, and feel heard and understood through instant response. In this way, flourish in every part of their lives.
