> UI Graphic Designer at Acumen, LLC

Location: San Francisco, California, United States
Profile: https://flows.cv/qianli1

Strong arts and design professional with a Master’s Degree focused in Web Design & New Media from the Academy of Art University.  My interior design background also gives me a keen sense of 3D thinking. 

From experience gained through two design majors, I realize that the purposes of all design works are the same - we design things for "people," so the user-centered design matters. 

The group environment in which I work always inspires me to think more creatively, so I am looking forward to working with other passionate experts.
