hi! i'm vivian ₍ꕤᐢ..ᐢ₎♥
I'm an undergraduate student at the University of California, San Diego, with a passion for combining creative expression and problem-solving. My fascination with digital design from a young age ignited a profound curiosity in how technology shapes human behavior. Growing up, I witnessed my immigrant parents’ challenges in adapting to new technologies, and this has deeply inspired me to pursue design that prioritizes accessibility and empathy.
My work is driven by a desire to keep learning and growing, and a profound curiosity about human behavior and creating technology that is more empathetic and humane. Today, I'm a product designer, passionate in speculative futures where empathy and interaction intersect to bring about an intuitive experience for everyone.
My Design Philosophy
I am a designer who champions the user’s voice, translating people's visions into thoughtful products through iterative design.
