I hold a BFA in Design from the School of Visual Arts, focusing on interaction and user experience design. Currently, I am a student in Carnegie Mellon University's Entertainment Technology graduate program, specializing in interaction design and experiential design. I was born and raised in China and had my college education in New York City, United States. Living in these two distinct countries broadened my horizon and allowed me to have a more inclusive mind to empathize with people.
Hello, I am Yawen 👋 🤗
I have dreamed of being a designer since I was six, and my design passion has never changed. I am attracted by the creativity and variety of design, and I fully believe that design can be used to solve problems, tell stories, bring people happiness, and create a better world. As a designer, I don’t want to limit myself to any specific title, “Experiential designer,” “UX/UI designer,” “Product designer,” “Interactive designer,” or “Graphic designer” …… I feel all kinds of design are intertwined, and I want to try different media to explore more possibilities in design.
Why be a designer 🌟 ✨ 🌈
I like to do exercises like indoor spinning, cardio workouts, and running. Also, I enjoy visiting all kinds of museums and exhibitions. I love reading novels and watching movies as well. Feel free to reach out about anything you want to discuss :)
