IDENTITY

As a UX designer and storyteller, I aim to use emerging technologies to envision future living and blend them into everyday life through design narratives. Holding an adventurous mindset, I often take risks and apply new knowledge to achieve better performance. The experiences enhanced my understanding of users and society, as well as my storytelling and research skills.

My extensive project and learning experiences have shaped me into a creative thinker and practitioner. I believe that design profoundly impacts everyday life (Messenger, Mood Stage). Whenever I start a project, I always question how it benefits the user and society because I think that is how I take social responsibilities as a designer. Furthermore, the academic training enriched my design methodology and strengthened my critical thinking. With my design background, I can create innovative experiences by combining tangible and digital interactions (Digital Twin Factory). 

Design thinking, user-centered design, and agile design are primary methods for design iterations. My respect for user insights infuses authenticity into my design narratives, making them resonate with the target audience. Coupled with my proficiency in implementation and my meticulous pursuit of details, I ensure the design outcomes are not only aesthetically pleasing but also functional, frontier, and user-friendly.

VISION

The ever-changing landscape of social development greatly influences social relationships and lifestyles. As emerging technologies continue to penetrate our lives, they spark discussions about how they can be designed to serve humans better. This extends beyond daily convenience to also contribute to our overall well-being.

As designers, we shape the future through our visions and aspirations. We must be aware of the larger picture and keep our finger on the pulse of society, creating designs that connect with the real world. At a more granular level, we should consider the values and needs of various stakeholders.

I envision a future society where individuals can effortlessly transition between the physical and virtual worlds, choosing where they wish to reside. This environment will not pose any limitations but accommodate diverse needs. This future will be facilitated by emerging technologies such as XR, AI, and digital twins, which enable designers to exert their talents to build fascinating experiences. As new knowledge presents fresh opportunities and challenges, it necessitates a commitment to lifelong learning and staying abreast of technological advancements. Simultaneously, we must remain conscious of ethical and moral issues, which not only call for multidisciplinary collaboration but require designers to take on social responsibilities.
