UX Design | UX Research | HCI
A happy hybrid loves the product, UX design, user research, and prototyping. My passion lies in understanding human and making technologies delightful and accessible. I'm keen on: ・Observing how people interact with others or the artifacts to unveil their behavior and need. ・Iterating the technology through research and design. ・Turning design ideas into tangible interaction by prototyping, coding, and making.
