Chauncey Fong
I grew up as a third culture kid in a family that values travel and exposure to new people and places. We lived in Indonesia, Texas, and Malaysia and experiencing such different ways of life made me more empathetic and observant. I immersed myself in whatever culture I happened to be in—from eating questionable street food in Indonesia to performing at Friday night football games. It’s a skill I still use today to connect with customers across industries.
With an undergraduate degree in Interior Design from The University of Texas at Austin, I started my career designing sustainable schools. After a few years in the industry, I completed an M.B.A. and transitioned to product design.
I balance my day job with toddler wrangling, cooking my way through my large collection of cook books, and trying to keep my plants alive.
“Chauncey’s ability to challenge the status quo in a clear, respectable, and productive style is remarkable and an asset to any organization looking for a design manager and leader to inspire teams, improve quality, and achieve success for the organization.”
