👋🏻

Hi, there

I’m Yufang. I'm a designer, and also an amateur creator.

I’m currently working on wifi service products and native mobile apps at Actiontec.
Before Actiontec, I was a freelancer in an agency based in Taiwan, mainly designing customized web pages and branding materials.
Before freelancing, my career started with a local banking system of an IBM project as a system analyst.

I dissect things and put them together.
Working in a team, my role has been always involving spotting issues, analyzing problems, clarifying requirements, ideating solutions, and prompting buy-ins.

My design process

When it comes to design, I'm a big believer in employing the famous Double Diamond process, which is pretty the much industry standard. Base on it, I divide the process into more detailed steps as the diagram above. More importantly, I strongly believe in developing rigor around establishing a strong set of principles to guide you through any design project. When things get foggy, having well defined principles is the best way to help you cut through the ambiguity.

Hobbies
I have two cats. I like hiking. I play the piano and violin, and guitar (started learning recently).
I enjoy reading and learning about natural ecosystems, sociology, history, architecture, linguistics, and new technology. When I can, I like to travel and practice my photography skills. I sometimes write, handcraft, and draw (mostly still objects and animals or creations reflecting my life. My next work will be buildings and street scenery and then landscape). Occasionally, I'll cook/bake if I’m craving.

Also, I am really addicted to documentary films. Ask me about the subjects that excite you; I might have a list to share (mostly from Netflix). 😁

Fun facts

I love to get my hands dirty.

I love all kinds of brownies, not just a devourer, but also a curious baby enjoys trying different recipes.
Not just pastry, but bread.🍞 I’ve been experimenting with sourdough lately, which is especially tricky in a tropical summer. But with a bit of patience, I’m almost there! Up next: brownie flavor sourdough bread! 🌟

I plant.🪴 I started with simple balcony vegetables. My sweet potato leaves and green onions sing to me every day. I actually have a dream of planting a variety of plants in my own garden one day.

Social issues that I care about
Sustainability, Environmental protection.
Projects/References that resonate with me: Project Kamp: Building our offline community, Global Footprint Network, Slow Food
