About
This is Valentino Chow, I am an award-winning product designer and a talented industrial designer with over 13 years of work experience in a wide range of products from consumer electronics. I had his degree from Birmingham City University, Product Design.
I design in a wide range of typologies of objects such as kitchen electric products, IoT products, Baby Monitor, Consumer Electronics EV Charging solution pioneers, and e-mobility. In my work, I am interested in combining design with the technical abilities of the local industry, this means often working directly with Chinese manufacturers and industrialists. Throughout my career, I worked with brands such as Tefal, Moulinex, AEG, Motorola, LOREX, LEVANA, Oregon Scientific, EV Power Group, etc. I know for a holistic approach to designing wireless products and have strong skills from conceptual problem solver to technical concern, and am able to bring products to market.
