View ProjectI'm Tien-Tien (pronounced tea-an twice)! I’ve always been a tinkerer. Making to create and creating to make. I began in video production and mass communication because I valued the ability to create worlds and tell stories for others to experience. The initial interaction that brought me to design was when I began dabbling with Adobe Illustrator due to school projects and pure curiosity. It gave way to investigating other forms of design and fell upon user experience design. That’s when I realized that UX design was how I wanted to tell stories.
My biggest influences have been YouTube and food (yes food). YouTube because it was what had me pursue experience creation by crafting worlds that connect people through stories. As for food, (I have a whole spiel on it), the main point is, I’ve never seen food as only a source of fuel. Food has always been a medium to learn about people. It's just another platform to empathize with others and a way to show hospitality. The energy and experience that food enables us to bring people together is what draws me to it most.
As I continue to grow as a designer, my understanding of design has evolved to associate it as a form of storytelling and hospitality because of my influences. I aim to craft engaging media that communicates the intended voices for brands. I hope to solve complex problems that support human connection. I strive to design experiences that empathize with humans and their stories so that they can build more mindful experiences with technology.

I aim to understand the problem at hand by gathering stakeholders' input through surveys, performing interviews, and reviewing current trends and competitors in the marketplace.
Based on the research gathered, I'll begin to create a variety of possible solutions by establishing the architecture, flows, stories, and mockups.
From lo-fidelity wireframes to high-fidelity wireframes, I'll begin to implement these solutions and test the wireframes among users and adjust accordingly to feedback.
The wireframes are turned into functional prototypes that can be handed off to development or implementing it myself through front-end development.
Products are continually evolving, and after each round, the process begins all over again or new features are explored and added.
