Hi, I'm Haolin Cai, a design engineer and industrial designer who loves turning complex problems into simple, delightful experiences. My work spans mixed-methods UX research, hardware prototyping, and multimedia design, with a focus on health tech and interactive interfaces. During my MRes at Imperial College London, I explored diagnostic decision-support interfaces for community healthcare workers in sub-Saharan Africa, combining field studies, data analysis, and iterative design to reduce cognitive load and improve decision-making. I enjoy collaborating across disciplines and turning user insights into tangible, impactful products.
