Design Philosophy 💭️
I believe good design should feel like a cloud—natural, fluid, and approachable, yet capable of forming new possibilities. At its best, design blends seamlessly into people’s experiences while leaving room for flexibility, expression, and growth. I’m obsessed with the process of unfolding the potential solutions of a problem and dive in to find the best shape for my piece of cloud.
My Approaches:
︎ Learn from everything
Everything could be viewed as an user experience. From ordering coffee to visiting a national park, the interaction flow influences the user's experience and the stakeholder's impact. Observing life brings me reflections of successful patterns.
︎ Empathic Design
Empathic design approach requires not only understanding of the user scenrios but also a resonation with the user group's aesthetics and internal demands.
︎ Craft & Vision
Being a designer in the age of emerging technology requires a deeper understanding of craft and visions. While AI could generate interfaces rapidly, it is aesthetic, creativity, and the ability to understand the problem that help us stand out.

🌍️Traveling
I love traveling around the world in a slow-paced way. I love to wonder around neighbothood that I have never been to before and observe how people spend their day. My favotite travel destinations so far are Calama, Chile, and Antwerp, Belgium.
📚️ Watch, Play, Read
When not working or designing you can find me in bookstores and cinemas, or pondering about the world of board games or indie games.
