Ting-Ray Chang’s Summary

I'm a multi-cultural researcher/designer, focus on socio-cultural and psychological impacts on design in both public spaces (e.g. hospital, museum, office) and technology-use.
Enjoy globalization. Love people watching. Interested in working in a multi-disciplinary, multi-cultural environment.
I'm smart worker, a problem solver and opportunity seeker. FUN is required also. Always think about "what if" and "how to".
Follow hi-tech more than high-fashion. Plan to be a "bridge" between the West and the East.

Ting-Ray Chang’s Specialties:

Behavioral research is my specialty. Use both quantitative and qualitative approaches. Strong in communication and planning. Experienced with design process as well as research implementation.
Done works in several environmental settings, ex. workplaces, hospitals, museums, schools and library.
