Who am I?

I am an Interaction Designer
I build engaging User Experiences. I received my BSc in School of Interactive Arts and Technology (SIAT) at Simon Fraser University in Interaction Design. Wireframe is my best friend. I am excited by elegant and simple interface that's easy to use. I am good with Information Architecture; I organize and present information so it communicates to the users. I develop projects from concept to execution with business needs in mind.

I am fluent in English and Mandarin, conversational in Japanese. Born in Taiwan, grew up in Vancouver, Canada. Now living in Tallinn, Estonia.

What is Interaction Design?

  • Interaction design defines the structure and behaviors of interactive products and services, and user interactions with those products and services.
  • Good interaction design effectively communicates a system’s interactivity and functionality, defines behaviors that communicate a system’s responses to user interactions, reveals both simple and complex workflows, informs users about system state changes, and prevents user error.
  • Interaction design is grounded in an understanding of real users (goals, tasks, experiences, needs, and wants) and balances these needs with business goals and technological capabilities.

Things I Love

I love the social web. Sometimes this passion of mine becomes more than a passion. I am experienced with online marketing/branding and social media, I construct web strategies that communicate and interact with targeted users. I enjoy building community, and I believe that people always have the power. If you want to know how to use Twitter or how to promote your brand on Facebook, I'd love to share my thoughts.
Sometimes I take photos. It makes me feel so alive to capture and document life. I also love traveling and I make sure I document that in my boutique travel blog too.
