Industrial design trained UX designer with five years' experience in designing visual identities and brand communications for enterprises.

Design to me is problem-solving, and my deep empathy for others motivates me to design meaningful solutions that make sense to people and simplify their lives. To achieve this, I focus on understanding end-user needs, target audience demographics and extensive communication with clients to understand business objectives.

People oriented and a team player, I seek a collaborative environment to learn from and serve people with diverse needs and backgrounds.

Elizabeth, CuriousCore Intern

Biggest question is how to choose what kind of UX industry i should join. Exp is to find a job.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Hello, I'm Elizabeth! I'm a fresh graduate from NTU as a Philosophy major.

I aspire to be a UX designer who can listen to others' needs and frustrations well and translate them into effective business-driven solutions to make someone's day easier. I want to design for people, not users. As one who believes in the power of taking a collaborative approach to design, I aim to create designs that are sincere, simple to navigate, and coherent.

I have previous internship experiences in UX design, UX writing and PM content writing. Currently, I am actively on the lookout for opportunities as an entry-level UX designer. Feel free to get in touch if you'd like to have a chat!
