# Hannah Chan > UX Designer at Edward Jones | Masters in HCI and Design Location: Santa Clara, California, United States Profile: https://flows.cv/hannahchan As a designer, I strive to create meaningful experiences that encompass both creativity and accessibility. I hold a Bachelor of Science in Graphic Communication from Cal Poly SLO, with a focus on User Experience and User Interface design. Recently, I earned my Master’s in Human-Computer Interaction and Design from UC Irvine, where I had the opportunity to design an interactive Ocean Encounter exhibit in partnership with Discovery Cube. This project transformed kiosk-based education into hands-on experiences, engaging visitors to deepen their understanding of ocean conservation and inspire environmental stewardship. I am open to experiences that will further my passion for designing consciously, with intention, and—most importantly—empathy. ## Work Experience ### UX Designer @ Edward Jones Jan 2025 – Present ### Product Designer @ Discovery Cube, Southern California Jan 2024 – Jan 2024 | Santa Ana, California, United States • Developed an interactive exhibit experience for a children’s science museum that enhances engagement, and optimizes the educational experience and impact.
