Hello There! I'm Angela 

Constantly learning, listening and reflecting to become a better researcher and designer

WechatIMG232.jpeg

I am currently a 1st year PhD candidate at the School of Interactive Arts and Technologies (SIAT) in Simon Fraser University. Previously worked as a user researcher at Microsoft Asia Center for Hardware (MACH), UX designer at Vox Pop Labs and TwentyBN. I have completed my graduate studies in User Experience Design at the University of Toronto and completed an online exchange to the Tsinghua University in 2020. Before pursuing a Master degree, I have completed a Honour Bachelor of Science in Psychology and Communication, Culture, Information & Technology (CCIT).

I was always fascinated by the interaction between people and technology in undergraduate, for example, why did an older user started singing to Google Home when she is trying to request for a song? 

UXD is the answer to my search of the perfect combination between observation, analysis, problem solving and creative thinking. I am able to contribute by identifying the real problem with my research skills and create an impact by designing for people.
