Hello! I’m Yuan Wei.

Nice to meet you!!

Hello! I'm David from Hualien, Taiwan. I started as an English educator but transitioned into UI/UX design, working as a UX designer and product designer in both consultancy and software development settings.

I focus on user-centered solutions, creating visually appealing designs that add value. I'm passionate about combining creativity with aesthetics to enhance experiences.

In my free time, I explore various design fields like 3D, animation, and web design, always eager to challenge myself and continue learning.

MY VALUES

I believe in a human-centered approach, focusing on team collaboration to create valuable designs. Attention to detail ensures intuitive and delightful user experiences, while continuous learning and challenges keep me adaptable in a fast-evolving world.

Human-Centred Approach

Design isn’t just about thinking from the user’s perspective; it’s also about fostering a human-centered spirit within the team. Through communication and collaboration, we can create designs that truly add value.

Focus on Details

The devil is in the details. Only by perfecting every detail can we deliver intuitive and delightful experiences in structure, visuals, and flow.

Continuous Challenge and Learning

In the rapidly changing AI era, designers must continuously learn and challenge themselves to adapt and create outstanding designs in an ever-evolving world.

SOMETHING ABOUT ME

Animal Lover

I'm a huge animal lover, and whenever I spot a cute animal, I just can't help but give them a pet. There's something really special about connecting with animals—it always brightens my day.

Nature Lover

I come from a beautiful city-Hualien, where I grew up surrounded by mountains and the sea. Hiking or camping always brings me back to the feeling of home. Being close to nature is my favourite way to relax and recharge.

Game Lover

I’m a big fan of video games! It’s amazing to see the creativity and skill behind them. I often get design inspiration from the cool worlds and ideas I come across while gaming.

Feel free to contact me!
I am happy to tell you more about me.
