About Emma
A passionate UX/UI designer dedicated to creating meaningful digital experiences that make a difference.
Hello! I'm Emma, born and raised in Hong Kong 🇭🇰. After graduating from college, I worked in various fields including testing, inspection, and finance. A few years ago, I spent 2 years in Japan 🇯🇵, where my experiences and the people I met inspired me to pursue a career in design and digital media.
Currently, I have graduated with a two-year diploma in Interactive Media Design in Ottawa 🇨🇦, focusing on becoming a UX designer. I believe design should always focus on people, which is why I'm passionate about creating user-centered solutions that solve real problems and provide delightful experiences.
When I’m not designing, you’ll probably catch me sewing 🧵, diving into a craft project 🎨, or baking just to see what comes out of the oven 🍪.

My Design Philosophy
The principles that guide my work
User-Centered
I love starting with people. Understanding what users need, what frustrates them, and what makes them smile helps me design with empathy and purpose.
Innovation
Design is part problem-solving, part storytelling. I enjoy experimenting with fresh ideas and finding creative ways to turn complex challenges into simple, enjoyable experiences
Iteration
I see design as an ongoing process. Testing, feedback, and refinement are part of my workflow because every round of improvement brings me closer to a solution that truly works.
