Hi, there!
I'm Dionne, a lifetime UX / UI designer, a part-time motion designer, illustrator, and game developer
I solve problems by creating digital solutions that bring empathetic, engaging, and delightful experiences to the world. I belives good design is to seek the fine balance between function, aesthetics, and user-friendly experiences that make technology more approachable to people.
I graduated from Emily Carr University of Art and Design in Vancouver, Canada, with a degree in interaction design.
The combination of technology and creativity within interaction design is what makes it so compelling to me, and I enjoy the way multidisciplinary disciplines are brought together to create seamless experiences. When I design for it, I always challenge myself creatively and push my abilities to the limit.
I love to make video games because I have a passion for visual storytelling. I believe that storytelling is at the core of every game, and I feel rewarded and motivated when I see people engaged and dedicated.

My Values
Always be learning 
I belives humans are constant works in progress that need to receive feedback in order to grow. I am always looking at ways to improve myself, so I like to learn new software, read blogs, and Behance on new projects in my spare time.
Stay humble 
It doesn't matter whether you are the president, manager, homeless, homeless, or average kid on the street. Treat others with respect as you would yourself because ultimately, we are all humans sharing the same wants and needs and facing our battles every day. Stay true to yourself and stay true to others.
Embrace creativity 
Everyone needs to recharge from creative burnout - else, we will go insane! When I am not in my creative zone, I like snowboarding, hiking, and sculpting artworks as a form of meditation.
The world is multicultural 
Being a Chinese Canadian, I am fascinated with various cultures! It is a true joy for me to find out about common behaviors in different cultures and the foundational values behind them. I believe that nowadays we should always think about how our designs would be perceived around the world - What could be offensive, unclear, or useless?
