Hi, I’m Jerry Cai.I have always been inspired by the freedom of driving, the ability to get in a car and experience new surroundings, make new memories, the freedom of the outdoors.


As an Interdisciplinary Designer, I focus on smart vehicle experiences, exploring how advanced technology can shape the future of mobility. Through research and experimentation, I translate emerging technologies into real-life interactions that feel intuitive, immersive, and user-centered. Prototyping, storytelling, and collaborative teamwork allow me to uncover new scenarios and craft a new experience for people. Through design, I create meaningful experiences that embrace our freedom to explore.
