I am Elly.
I am a detail-oriented designer with creative ideas, strong problem solving and interpersonal skills. I deliver high-quality visuals.
I am an user experience designer with a strong visual design background. Also, I have experience in front-end development. I am passionate about improving the way people live and communicate. I love to solve problems by breaking them down into small parts with simple and clear ideas. I am energized by delivering thoughts through design thinking. From 2018 to 2019, I was also co-planning and writing for a Mandarin Medium team called AAPD (As A Product Designer). Currently, I am working on book publications with O'rielly Media
(Gotop in Taiwan).
As a UX designer, I understand the user-centered design process and delivering concepts by low/high-fi prototyping. When creating a product, I am always curious about who I am designing for and why. I am experienced in working with strategy teams, product managers, and engineers from early research stages, synthesizing users’ feedback into production in both agency environments and as an in-house designer. Fluent in app/web design principles and creating a pixel-perfect design from initial concept to final code.
Design Process & Working Style
I am a well-rounded designer who has a passion for researching and prototyping through iteration. During prototyping from the earliest stage to the final version, I am able to create a high-quality product that will suit users' needs.
Skills & Knowledge
I have expertise in using Adobe Creative Suite in visual communication design. I conduct UI/UX design and prototyping with Sketch, InVision, and Marvel. For front-end development, I have experience in HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript.
