Hello!
I am HAHATANGO

I am a creative, designer, artist, tech addict, stock investor, musician, foodie, conference junkie, inventor, educator, ideas enthusiast, am Cantonese, grew up in Kansas, and have an inactive blog at Designverb switching to Facebook Page after too many hacks.

I create objects, experiences, interfaces, spaces, services, brands, and often ideas I can't describe.

I studied at RISD for Industrial Design, Harvard's GSD about information space, the MIT Media Laboratory about Tangible Media and Smart Cities, then became a researcher for the MIT Mobile Experience Design Lab. I've worked for Sony, Design Continuum, Herbst Lazar Bell, Invivia, Siemens Medical, TED, big corps, many startups, and at litl working for a serial entrepreneur incubating many startups roughly every 10 months =)

Upon a global executive promotion I decided to leave my Dream job to start my own dream, but before doing so, I Said Go to travel the world to relearn.

I'm jumping into my startup Jot to Make Imagination Accessible, (Initially 2018, but in Dec 2017 I surgically died, so 2018 onwards has been focused recovery while rethinking lots)

I played the violin 15 years, been on two TV shows (ABC's American Inventor and PBS's Everyday Edisons), designed a shoe for Converse Join RED, and doodled a Timbuk2 Charity Bag. I co-organized TEDxCambridge in 2010 themed "How do you eat", have attended TED 18+ years, and often review portfolios for RISD students where I am sometimes a guest critic.
