Profile: https://flows.cv/pattylu

I'm a problem solver, collaborator, and a believer that thoughtful design can make a meaningful difference in people's lives.

After 5 years as a teacher, I have a diverse experience working with students of different ages, backgrounds, and personalities. The skillsets used in designing lessons and teaching material, and in communicating with students, parents, and colleagues, cross over amazingly well to UX design; how students interact with teaching material, how they experience the subject matter, is essential to teaching and realizing learning objectives. This provided me with a solid foundation for my design career.

With the completion of the Springboard UX/UI courses, my four UX projects were born. Human-centered design is at the heart of my design process, along with a desire to dedicate my full attention to helping people achieve their goals, guiding and motivating my UX journey. Curious and empathetic by nature, I approach each project with an open mind and an eagerness to listen, learn, and collaborate. I carry forward the wisdom gleaned from my experiences into my work as a UX Designer, where I hope to contribute to innovative and accessible interactions that empower users and have a positive impact.
