I’m a visual designer, data visualization designer, and UX researcher. In my ten years of experience in communication design and design management, I mainly focused on data visualization, infographic design, diagram design, visual identity system, and typography. Recently, I received my master’s degree in Data Analytics and Visualization from Pratt Institute and actively looking for opportunities that can utilize the combination of my skills in design, data, and user experience.
According to a 2018 Lego study, “the vocabulary of bricks has increased significantly resulting in sets sharing fewer bricks.” Tracing the number of Lego bricks over time may be telling of the increasing specialization and complexity of Lego sets. Looking at the number of specialized pieces in relation to interchangeable pieces may also help us determine if increased specialization has resulted in fewer shareable bricks.

Virimodo is an SaaS company that helps customers cut energy waste and improve their carbon footprint. For such purpose, I designed and built a dashboard that tracks clients’ energy uses, carbon footprints, greenhouse gas emissions, and so on.

This is a hypothetic website redesign project for a non-profit organization called Arts for All, which offers accessible artistic opportunities to children in the New York City area who face different barriers to exploring the arts. As a team member, I contributed mostly in visual design and prototyping process.
After conducting qualitative and quantitative user studies (interview, observation, and questionnaire), card sorting and tree testing, and competitive analysis to generate a draft site map, the team created a low fidelity website accordingly. We then ran some usability test with the low-fi draft and adjusted the site map, and finally produced our final high fidelity prototype. Due to the scope of this project, we focused on improving the experience of Making a Donation and Volunteering.

Gang Qiao Design Consultant is a company that organizes design competitions, biddings, and seminars. They link the government, designers, and clients, functioning as the motive power of design business. This business model has reminded me of Newton’s Cradle, which has a consistent motive power and two “sides”. In this context, I consider it as the clients and the designers, and Gang Qiao acts as the connection between them.

This is an experimental project discusses the voice in mind when a second language (Mandarin) speaker is reading an English article.
The reading difficulty was presented by the messiness, duplicants and complexity of the typography. In the video version, I dubbed a sound track that literally reads out the voice in my mind while reading an English article four years ago.
