Award-winning designs by Ting Han Chen, showcasing excellence and innovation in service

Rixing Go Digital
Rixing is the world's last and only type foundry that's still making traditional Chinese letterpress. As part of Taiwan's cultural heritage and an ambitious career rather than a for-profit business, Rixing dedicates itself to conveying cultural values of craftsmanship and aesthetics of letterpress to all. This project aims at helping Rixing deliver its value proposition by implementing a self-guided service for visitors to learn about the history, artefacts, techniques, and commodities of letterpress on their own, leaving staff more time to better serve their customers.

Enjoy Happy Food
This design project shows how to transform a traditional fish vendor into a modern social e-commerce brand as a response to the epidemic, and to bridge the gap between traditional fish market shopping and online shopping lifestyle. The brand is rooted in the vendor's 40 year fisheries professionalism, traditional market's way of customer social interactions, and takes customization orders from customers via Line (a most used social app in Taiwan) to deliver freshest, daily caught sea fish and recommended cooking recipes.

Funaging
FunAging is an educational service offering classes of smartphone apps to accompany and empower the elderly. FunAging disseminates the class information with the elderly via Line, a widely used social app in Taiwan among the elderly. However, many elderly have difficulties in registering classes via Line as its interface is not elderly-friendly. This project employs senior-centered service design thinking to enhance the class registration process. A set of systematic design diagnosis clarifies the UX issues, with insightful design deliverables, to make the service more fluent and effective.
