From 2011 to 2024 I worked in brand, product and design roles at five companies in Taipei. The work didn’t stop at the artwork: I also found buyers, looked after sales channels and helped take our products into Australia, the United States, Canada and Egypt.

New accounts, repeat customers

Alongside the design work, I developed new accounts for EVOUNI, a Taipei brand of leather and wood cases for phones and tablets. I followed up incoming leads, introduced the range to new buyers and stayed in touch after the first order, so more of them came back as repeat customers. Because product content was part of my job, I was pitching products I knew from concept to production.

Online, I supported our expansion into Australia, the United States, Canada and Egypt across eight storefronts. Each channel had its own rules for listings, photos and copy, and I built and maintained product pages that stayed true to the brand on every one of them. Pictured are a few of those channels: an Uncovet product page, EVOUNI results on Amazon and a Chinese-language flash sale.

Face to face at trade shows

Offline, the work was face to face. I met prospects at trade shows, followed up by email and cold calls, and pitched the range to distributors and retail stores. The booth itself did half the selling: displays like the silver hand stands showed each case the way a customer would actually hold it.

A sale only counts once the product arrives. I set up and ran shipping for consignment and e-commerce partners, including Amazon FBA (Fulfilled by Amazon), and tracked stock in warehouses abroad so overseas stores didn’t run dry. Careful records and planning a step ahead mattered then, and they still matter in my safety work today.
