“how might we make this one way flight better…”
HI,
HI, I am Royston Phang,
Founder of SALTTWORKSHOP + JR. Industrial designer with 11 years of product design experience. Ex Electrolux. Freelance design consultant Tech startups, bridging design and technology for a better tomorrow. UX practitioner.
Adjunct lecturer at NAFA teaching students on the basics of 3D forms and Rapid Prototyping methods, challenging their thinking to materialize their ideas into physical prototypes with machines. An advocate for parent child bonding through crafts activities.
My lens helps to bridge business goals and user needs together. I support the design and engineering functions in research, ideation, prototyping functional products readying them for the market. Always seeking to create a meaningful impact for both business and users.
I have a love for novelty and adventure, as well as a passion for the hands-on craft. If I could travel, I'd like to be hiking up a mountain, stop at a tavern on top, overlooking into the valley of a quaint town finished with a cold dark pint in hand.
My strengths: Workshop host to kids, Research, Ideation, Rapid prototyping for testing, Product development, Technically curious.
