User Experience Design
I am committed to creating impactful user experiences, accessible interactions and positive emotions during the experience. I've been focusing on the emotional changes of the user in the experience with empathy to promote a good experience and solve real problems.
Major project
Application of UX design and visualisation of digital health data: Implications for the growing trend of type II diabetes in the young population
T2DM-related Digital Healthcare Solution - 'Glucosio'
Due to the increase of younger type II diabetes (T2DM) patients (aged 20 - 34) in recent years, and high labour costs and financial expenditure, the relevant healthcare industry and the government have no extra ability to take care of young potential patients. Additionally, it is more acute for groups living in remote areas and with low health literacy. Therefore, to help younger users prevent the risk of T2DM, I created prototypes with relevant data monitoring, data visualisation, risk reminding, suggestion feedback and telemedicine, to explore the relationships between UX design, digital data visualisation and risk interpretation.
High-fidelity Prototype 2 - 'Glucosio'
Through tests, prototype 2 (improved one) performed better than prototype 1 (based on secondary research and existing solutions) in usability, accessibility, emotional changes during the experience and risk interpretation. I found that younger users prefer simple & traditional charts, such as line and bar charts, which performed better in data comprehension, comparison and prediction. Meanwhile, two new findings, user-flow changes and risk scoring system are the critical elements increasing efficiency and satisfaction. Additionally, these two improvements effectively relieved users' anxiety and unease moods.
Design Thinking Process for Major Project
The design process is based on the double diamond design process for design research and prototype creation with the Agile mindset. I iteratively did secondary research, opportunities finding and prototype creation.

Work Experience
Jan. 2018 - May 2019 | Grado design | Industrial Designer
I was mainly responsible for and participated in the creation and product design of the new brand 'Archini', as well as the brand image and product promotional material design and the visual design of the online website. As a relatively comprehensive work experience involving product design, user experience and visual design at the same time, it has greatly improved my professional skills, understanding of new projects and familiarity with the entire design process.
