Welcome to My Portfolio. I'm Yingduo (Rose) Zhao

My passion for UX design started during my undergraduate studies in artistic interactive design. I realized that I was more interested in the human side and functionality of technology than building subjective arts. I then pursued a master's degree in human-computer interaction and began my career as a UX designer.

My favorite part of my job is solving design challenges, and come up with solutions that make user's life easier. I also love to step backward, and iterate previous projects. It feels like I'm designing a "evolution" of products that brings more aid to people.
