Hiya! I’m Gily,

Welcome to a little snippet of my journey into the universe of design

Born and raised in bustling Hong Kong, I’ve grown to admire the convenience of a simple click. I’m determined to refine the way I design those simple clicks, collaborate with others to build meaningful and personalized experiences. I’m currently a new HCDE master's student on a journey at the University of Washington to discover what makes people tick!

If you're ever in Seattle, you can find me…

ARCHITECTURE TO PRODUCT DESIGN

Paving Paths

My love for Architecture began when I met someone who taught me to look at space through pathways — how the interior and exterior weave together according to the patterns of human movement. The concepts of product design are similar — interfaces weave together according to patterns of human behavior.

Versatility and Adaptability

From strict city planning and building codes to navigating stakeholder needs, successful architects can exercise creativity given a set of complex constraints — a skill that I have found to be priceless in my current work.

Constructive conversations

I've discovered the importance of conversation between professionals across different disciplines, including construction, architecture, and engineering. Productive conversations held during reviews and critiques have also made me seek and value feedback from others.

Designing from the heart

Most importantly, I want to create spaces and interfaces that evoke emotion. I always strive to show this thoughtfulness behind my screens.

Thank you for taking the time to look at my work!

Let’s design together! 🤝
