About

My Career so far

As an experienced communication design lecturer and UX designer, I have a strong background in developing multimedia and interactive guides for museums, using constructive criticism and appreciation to help learners deepen their understanding of art. I also have expertise in designing enquiry-based learning in visual communication, using a design thinking approach to create engaging and effective educational experiences. Additionally, I have conducted user tests for the first prototypes of the Pedestrian Wayfinding Signage System in Hong Kong while applying my knowledge of user experience design. Overall, my passion for creating user-centered interactive media and my extensive experience in both academia and industry make me a valuable asset to any organization seeking to enhance the user experience of their products and services.

Designing enquiry-based learning in visual communication with a design thinking approachDesigning enquiry-based learning in visual communication with a design thinking approach
Sep 2022 - 2023 Dec 2002 - present (Research)
The School of Design (SD) will be launching a new curriculum in the next cohort as one of its aims is to increase interdisciplinary capacity in design-led innovation and it is vital that students gain knowledge in communication in order to be prepared to engage with different complex problems. SD1103 Communication Basics for Designers used to be a subject that serve for the needs of students to communicate concept graphically and visually, in which some essential design application such as Adobe suite will be introduce during the class. However, after many years of teaching, our project team has realised that students acquire applied skills based on the needs of their projects and they can easily find answers from the internet, this keeps students not engaging in learning in the classroom. Therefore, if we teach these skills in advance and in a linear sequence, this is not effective and it wastes class time.
Design Recommendations suggested from User Test Results for the improvement of Pedestrian Wayfinding Signage System in Hong Kong Dec 2021 - Jan 2022 (Research)
The aim of the project was to provide recommendations for ARUP's existing '02 Sign Art Design', which was based strictly on the results of the August user testing and guidance from the TPDM and SEGD white papers . The recommendations will focus on legibility, Colour contrast and Information hierarchy all of which were similar items tested in the August user test. This project will not provide design solutions and decisions, as the role of IDL is based on usability studies, not on creativity or aesthetics.
