Hello, I'm Weiping Cai, though many know me as Kaia. I'm a product designer based in London, where I've been fortunate enough to explore the world of digital design across various industries. My journey began with my studies in software engineering and human-computer interaction. This blend of disciplines has given me a special lens through which I view design - one that brings together the practical aspects of technology with the nuanced needs of users.

Over the years, I've had the joy of working on an array of projects, each one unique and full of learning opportunities. My curiosity led me to delve into data analytics and machine learning, which has been incredibly helpful, especially when I've faced the exciting challenges of areas like generative AI.

What inspired me was the pursuit of knowledge.

To me, innovation means: Another way in life.

What originally came into mind was the inspiration and market perception that exist.

Thank you! Winning the TITAN Innovation Awards is an honor and will affect my upcoming works and aspirations positively for sure!

Both my father and grandmother. Their unconditional love has instilled in me the importance of life.

I think it is a another way can give the industry more inspirations.

There are tons of great resources, but to start, a few design books can be incredibly helpful! For example, The Design of Everyday Things by Don Norman.

Do not fear just be brave and trust yourself.

I hope to impact people with a positive impact even in small ways.

Energy and imagination.

In the next 5-10 years, innovation will combine AI technology, although AI is very energy-consuming.

Just do it!
