Profile: https://flows.cv/heidiwong

UX designer by way of architecture and cognitive science.  I love working at the intersection of digital and physical environments, and designing ways to bridge the two to create useful and novel experiences. I enjoy unpacking complex things, finding patterns, and translating insights into designs. 

I was trained as a designer, researcher, and architect, and hold two graduate degrees from the University of Michigan. I like to think critically, ask hard questions, and care deeply about focusing on the right thing and designing to solve real problems for real people.
