Product Designer, UI/UX Designer, Illustrator
Hello! I like to play games and enjoy analyzing games when I am playing, sharing, and talking about games with my friends. I also enjoy teaching and I helped many students to make their portfolios for applying to university. In my daily life, I am a pet owner, I made a lot of illustrations about pets and focus on making a good life for my pets.
I enjoy being a designer because I can share my ideas visually. At the same time, analyzing what users need is a good way for me to know and help me a lot when I am dealing with my daily life.
COMMU
Group Work, UX/UI Design: A new community app design Based on the Yelp app.
When we get into a new place, we are not familiar with any businesses. Even if you are living here for a long time, there will still be many new things opened that we don't know.
After the pandemic, we prefer staying at home more. We lost some chances to make friends. How might we prompt more people to take importance in community engagement? This is what we thought during our project.
<Our Role> Build a new Customer community app based on Yelp Team Research Questions.
<What we did> Set up the steps of user research and wrote the questions for the interview. Coded interviews and created personas and scenarios. Designed the app and did user testing.

Group Prototype Design: Future program assumption for metaverse
As the number of gaming centres, gaming café and escape rooms increase, people are interesting in trying out all these different kinds of gaming experiences. However, most of these places ask interested people to make appointments before they could come in to try out the games, and people can only book from different official websites respective to their own gaming centre, which means they have to visit many websites to compare prices, reviews and timeslot between different places, which results into making the booking/scheduling process long, tedious and disorganized.
<Our Role> How might we deliver an efficient way to book timeslots at different gaming centres?
<What we did> Picked up a topic and analyzed the trends in the future according to the research. Built a future scenario story and found the pain points. Designed the advertisement and interactions for showing what it will be.
