Jaewan Jeong

I am an award-winning industrial designer and serial entrepreneur focused on robotics and embodied AI. I bring a distinctive blend of creativity, engineering intuition, and product strategy to build human-centered hardware that scales globally. I have led multiple zero-to-one projects—taking products from concept to launch and driving strong market outcomes.

I earned my degree in Industrial Design from Hanyang University in South Korea and began my career at VTech in Hong Kong. I later joined Electrolux in Shanghai, where I spent three years designing small appliances for the global market.

I then moved to Shenzhen to join DJI, where I led cross-functional product teams across DJI and Hasselblad. Over six years, I led the design and delivery of a wide range of products—including drones, VR goggles, controllers, gimbals, cameras, and lenses—shaping experiences from concept to production.

After DJI, I became a founding member of MACH Tech, leading teams to create products that seamlessly integrate design and technology.

I later left MACH to help build Full Canvas Dynamics from the ground up as a founding member—an ambitious startup with a vision to become the “Tesla of the marine industry.”

As the embodied AI megatrend accelerated faster than expected, I joined Anker as a business partner, where I lead the design organization for the Embodied AI team. I oversee the process from concept development to product realization, bridging design, technology, and business strategy to build cohesive physical AI products with the potential to become a global standard.

My long-term goal is to build robots people truly need—and to create a company whose robots are used by tens of millions every day.

What I Believe in Industrial Design

We are not artists, though we are artistic. We are not inventors, though we are inventive. And we are not engineers, though we bring a deep technical understanding to our work. We are not marketers, though the best of us propose concepts that lead the trends and market. Working freelance or in-house, industrial designers love art and science to improve the look, feel, and function of chairs, environments, cars, mobile phones, and even corporate logos.

 

"Good industrial designer makes a thing look good, and great industrial designer builds a relationship between an object and its user."
