My Journey to UX

04. Time spent with UMSI and Coke

After graduating from MSU, I came to the University of Michigan, School of Information, to continue study human-computer interaction.

In summer 2020, I joined Coke as a UX intern. It was an adventurous experience where I learned to embrace the ambiguity of complex problems and crack them into pieces to make things happen.

My Philosophy towards Work šŸ¤ž

"Work in Progress"

By looking at the quote above, you might think I am a person who lacks motivation and always disrespect deadlines, which isn't correct at all.

My version of "work in process" is resonating with the iteration concept from user experience design. I am a unique work in progress that seeks to constantly improve along life's journey to become a better person in this beautiful world
