Hello! I'm ChiaYu, a happy hybrid who does UX/product design, user research and sometimes coding. I’m also an HCI enthusiast & love to prototype in tangible and digital ways.
My passion lies in understanding human and constructing experience between human-technologies to make tech stuffs intuitive.
I'm proficient in UX design/Building prototype with mainstream prototyping tools & Qualitative user research. I've also equipped knowledge in software engineering (especially front-end dev) and business, which enables me to work well in multifunction team!
Please refer to my portfolio for the UX design and research projects in detail:
