About Chiwen (Joanne)
Diverse Background + Empathy + Problem Solving Skill
Hello! I’m a UX Designer with a Master’s in Human-Computer Interaction + Design from the University of Washington. Transitioning from a teaching career to UX design, I bring a wealth of empathy cultivated from diverse professional and personal experiences. This empathy has been crucial in both educating students and operating my e-commerce fashion business for over 8 years, where I focus on trust-building and clear communication.
My journey into UX began with a project to redefine my company's website, enhancing brand clarity and product accessibility through design. This experience solidified my commitment to human-centered design, leading me to a new career path where I combine strong communication skills, problem-solving, and a creative mindset to develop inclusive and effective user experience.
With a passion for creating user experiences that resonate on a human level, I am dedicated to making design both empathetic and impactful.
