At PHOENIX, I joined the design team to support an ongoing large-scale project — the Lazzen PI low-voltage circuit breaker series — which later received an iF Gold Award. My role focused on the PI design of the intelligent cabinet, contributing to its concept refinement and ensuring alignment with the overall family language.

Skills
3D modeling and CAD (SolidWorks), visualization and rendering (KeyShot), sketching and advanced visual storytelling, hands-on prototyping and iterative testing, design for manufacturing (DFM), user-centered product development, cross-functional collaboration with engineers and designers, presentation design and narrative building.
The client challenged us to express intelligence within an electrical safety product — a category traditionally defined by mechanical, utilitarian design.
This was my first time working in a professional studio on such a long-term, large-scale project. I not only applied and deepened my design skills, but also learned to collaborate closely with other designers, communicate with clients, and adapt to different working rhythms. Beyond the work itself, I experienced the value of teamwork, built confidence, and made lasting friendships.
With gratitude to Yifan Z., Lun Y., Bojian H., Ding J., Xiaoyu S., Chenyu D., and Mingming Z. for their guidance and support.
