Hao-Min Chen

A UX designer that turns pain points into high points
My name is Hao-Min Chen, but I usually go by Eric. I have over a year of experience in the UX design industry, and I am passionate about solving problems with style. I was born and raised in Taiwan, educated in the U.S., and am now based in London. In my opinion, collaboration is the most crucial aspect of working in UX, no matter when I work in cross-functional teams or teams with similar backgrounds. Thus I firmly believe in the phrase "teamwork makes the dream work".
