Kungin (Kun-Chin) Tsai
Hello, I’m Kungin Tsai—an XR and immersive experience creator with a background in industrial design. I aspire to combine design insight with technical expertise to craft intuitive and innovative, XR user experiences. Experienced in Unreal Engine, Disguise, Motion Capture, Adobe Suite, various 3D modeling tools, and digital art software. My diverse professional and cultural background enriches my problem-solving and innovation, allowing me to bridge creative and technological fields in meaningful ways. As a collaborator, I prioritize open communication and value input that helps refine and strengthen each project. Beyond design, I explore illustration as a creative outlet. Let’s connect to collaborate on meaningful projects.
