About the Artist
Kaiyuan Chen & Xiaoyun Chen
Kaiyuan Chen is an industrial designer specializing in integrated experience design. Guided by a philosophy rooted in human-centricity, Kaiyuan seeks to resolve the tension between technical constraints and user needs. In the development of AERISO, he implemented a modular design strategy that effectively addressed long-standing industry challenges regarding thermal management and waterproofing. By harmonizing multi-material applications and CMF expertise with integrated interactive systems, he delivers a fluid and elevated functional experience to the end user. A juror for the international A' Design Award and founder of JA Design Studio, Kaiyuan's work has earned numerous international accolades over the past year. He is dedicated to amplifying the impact of the design community, focusing on translating human-centered concepts into tangible, high-quality products that enrich the user journey. Xiaoyun Chen is a multidisciplinary designer working at the intersection of human-centered research, industrial design, and emerging technology. With an academic background in Human-Computer Interaction, she brings a rigorous yet empathetic lens to everyday objects and complex systems alike. Her design philosophy — Empathetic Architecture — centers on the belief that good design should reduce friction, build trust, and quietly empower the people who use it. AERISO, her Modular Ultrasonic Cleaning System, embodies this principle: a domestic appliance that addresses the unspoken anxiety around cleaning delicate, high-value everyday items. Through guided modularity and calm, precise feedback, AERISO transforms an overlooked chore into a confident, ritual-like experience. Currently, UX/Product Designer at Roku and founder of JA Design Studio, Xiaoyun works across scales — from enterprise B2B platforms serving thousands of developers to intimate objects designed for a single user's hands. Her independent work has been recognized by MUSE Design Awards and exhibited internationally, including at the Carrousel du Louvre and The Coningsby Gallery, London. She believes the most meaningful designs are those that make people feel capable — not dependent.
