Hi, This is Xiaoyang!
You can also call me by my English name Elena. The meanings of my Chinese (character: 晓阳) and English name are the same - sun rays☀️!
✨I am a versatile designer with extensive experience across various disciplines, including digital experiences for SaaS, apps, & websites, as well as visual content and spatial design in architecture & urban design.
🖥️Currently, I am dedicated to become a user-centric product designer. I completed 2 internships as a product designer @Lanma AI Tech and @Mobile Now, where I gained valuable hands-on experience in UX and UI design.
🎓I am a master's student at the University of Washington, specializing in Human-Computer Interaction and based in the tech hub - Seattle. I hold a Bachelor of Engineering in Landscape Architecture from Tongji University in Shanghai, China.
⚒️I love using design to brighten the world a little! In college, I led the "Dream Building Club" and raised over $25,000 to create two “Dream Classrooms” in remote parts of China. Seeing those bright smiles made me more passionate about using design to spread more joy and hope!
📷Outside of my studies, I’m a photography enthusiast! It’s my way of capturing the little moments that bring me joy. Feel free to check out my photos here ~ I hope they bring a smile to your face! 😊
