Vanessa Yang

             As a recent graduate of New Media Studies with a diverse range of skills in video production, web development, graphic design, sound, AR and game development, I am committed to apply my knowledge and passion for UI/UX design in the industry. 
"Design is not decoration. It's communication." This quote resonates with me deeply. While aesthetics undoubtedly hold significance, I firmly believe that design's primary function lies in effective communication. A visually appealing product or service can capture attention, but its true value lies in how well it caters to the user's needs and desires. Therefore, my focus extends beyond making things visually pleasing; it encompasses understanding user behaviors, preferences, and pain points. By prioritizing user-centric design principles, I aim to create solutions that not only look good but also function seamlessly, ultimately enriching the user experience.
