Dear KISKA Team,
As a master's student in Interaction Design at the Umeå Institute of Design, I just finished my internship at Volvo Cars. Now I’m looking for another opportunity before I go back to school. I am eager to contribute my skills and perspectives to KISKA.
Through my academic journey, I’ve built up the theoretical foundation of interaction design as well as practical experience. I’ve done student collaboration projects with Komastu Forest and Försäkringskassan for UX design solutions. Along with my personal speculative project on intimate data, to envision the future concept of people interacting with an uncertain system.
At Volvo Cars, I've been actively involved in user research, benchmarking, and prototyping tangible interfaces to enhance vehicle interaction. I mainly focused on crafting the physical interactions for the next generation of cars, working on haptic investigation. This journey refined my skills in translating complex technical interactions into accessible user experiences. Collaborating closely with interdisciplinary teams has also reinforced my strength as a communicative and proactive team member.
I’ve seen some of your projects at UID during online lectures. What I’m interested in is the diversity of projects and similar ways of working towards design. You are very welcome to look at my portfolio: hanxiongzhang.se
I might not 100% meet the requirements for this position as I’m studying interaction design. But I think my perspectives from user experience could contribute to the team. I’m also open to other positions related to UX or prototyping.
I need visa support for eligible work in Austria. Thank you very much for your consideration. Hope we can have further conversations.
Best regards,
Hanxiong Zhang
