Hi! I am Hao Jie, currently based in NYC.
I am a Singaporean design generalist who can strategize, manage, research, make, and storytell. With industrial design as my foundation, I bring a sensitivity to physical experiences, human relationships, and the systems that shape them. I now work in the social impact space, tackling challenges through the lens of innovation and systems thinking.
