I'm an independent UX designer specializing in intelligent interaction, smart living, automation systems, immersive experiences, and future urban design. My design practice encompasses smart systems, automated experiences, human-computer interaction, and multisensory design, with a strong focus on seamlessly integrating technology into everyday life in an intuitive and natural manner.

My design philosophy emphasizes the perceptibility of technology—ensuring that interaction with intelligent systems is not only intuitive and comprehensible but also capable of fostering emotional resonance with users. Perceptibility extends beyond user-friendly interfaces and smooth interactions; it entails creating technology that proactively adapts to users rather than requiring users to conform to technology.

In my design process, I go beyond merely addressing user needs; I actively explore innovative interaction models, challenging conventional experience paradigms to drive deeper technological transformations. Exceptional design should not merely optimize existing processes—it should create new possibilities, making life more efficient, fluid, and emotionally connected.

Technology is advancing at an unprecedented pace, yet human instincts and habits do not evolve at the same speed. Confronted with this disparity, I see design as a bridge that connects the two, transforming intelligent systems from mere powerful tools into integral, seamless companions in people's lives.

I chose to become a designer because I aspire to create intuitive interaction mechanisms that minimize friction between users and technology, making technological experiences more comprehensible, human-centered, and emotionally engaging. I firmly believe that design is not solely about enhancing functionality but about fostering a harmonious coexistence between humans and their environment.

As a freelance UX designer, I focus on user experience design, interaction design, product strategy, and information architecture. My work revolves around optimizing smart systems to enhance adaptability while minimizing users’ cognitive load, ensuring that technology not only improves efficiency but also retains a level of emotional warmth.

My workflow typically includes:

User Research: Analyzing user needs, behavioral patterns, and pain points to ensure human-centered design.

Product Strategy: Structuring information architecture and interaction logic to create intuitive and user-friendly systems.

Interaction and Interface Design: Utilizing dynamic visuals, progressive feedback, and immersive experiences to foster natural interactions.

Usability Testing and Optimization: Continuously iterating designs to enhance usability and user satisfaction.

Whether working on intelligent systems or immersive experiences, my core objective remains consistent—ensuring that technology adapts to users, rather than forcing users to adapt to technology.

Design is the convergence of order and perceptual experience. It is not merely about aesthetics but involves structuring information, interaction logic, and emotional engagement.

In the era of intelligent technology, the role of design is to simplify complexity and make the unfamiliar feel intuitive. On an emotional level, design facilitates connections between users and their environment, transforming products from impersonal tools into entities that evoke psychological resonance.

At its core, design is not just about solving problems—it is about refining the way people interact with the world, making those interactions more fluid and natural.

I am most drawn to designs that guide users toward embracing new systems while striking a balance between smart automation and emotional engagement.

Modern interaction should not be limited to the simplistic input-feedback paradigm; instead, systems should proactively adapt to users, effortlessly guiding them into a seamless flow of experience. In highly intelligent scenarios, reducing users’ cognitive effort is crucial, whereas in immersive interactions, enhancing sensory engagement is equally important.

I particularly appreciate designs that merge structural order with emotional connection—ones that not only optimize usability but also cultivate a deeper emotional bond with users.

Good design is imperceptible yet profoundly impactful. It does not draw attention to itself but subtly enhances the overall experience.

Key attributes of good design include:

Intuitiveness: Users should be able to grasp and utilize it effortlessly.

Feedback Mechanisms: Users should always have a clear understanding of their current state to reduce uncertainty and anxiety.

Adaptability: Good design adjusts to various contexts rather than forcing users to conform to it.

Emotional Resonance: Beyond functional improvements, it should evoke positive emotions such as comfort, reassurance, or delight.

Ultimately, great design does not feel like "designed" functionality—it feels as if things were always meant to be that way.

My design style can be characterized as fluid, progressive, and immersive.

I employ dynamic feedback and progressive information presentation, allowing users to gradually adapt to a system rather than being overwhelmed with information all at once. Additionally, I prioritize immersive engagement—whether through visual, auditory, or interactional elements—to make experiences feel more natural and emotionally compelling.

From highly intelligent automation systems to deeply emotional immersive experiences, my goal remains the same: to reduce cognitive burden and create seamless, intuitive interactions.

My design process typically consists of the following stages:

Research & Analysis: Understanding user needs, market trends, and technological capabilities.

Concept Development: Constructing information architecture, user flows, and interaction logic.

Prototyping: Developing low- and high-fidelity prototypes for preliminary testing.

User Testing: Gathering feedback to refine interactions and optimize user experience.

At every stage, I adjust the experience flow and interaction model to ensure that the final product meets both functional requirements and user delight.

China’s rapid urbanization, the widespread adoption of smart systems, and the prioritization of efficiency have significantly shaped my design mindset. In this context, technology is often regarded as a means to enhance productivity, with smart cities, autonomous driving, and automation systems evolving rapidly. However, this raises several thought-provoking questions:

While technology is becoming increasingly invisible, is it truly strengthening human-technology relationships?

Intelligent automation introduces order but often at the cost of a homogenized experience. If all interactions adhere strictly to “optimal efficiency,” do users still have room for personalization?

As convenience increases, how does our relationship with the environment shift? In fast-changing cities, can we still perceive the warmth of technology, beyond its rational optimizations?

These reflections have influenced my project directions. For instance, with AutoSync, my goal is not just to maximize automated parking efficiency, but to use progressive feedback and fluid information flow to help users intuitively understand the system’s workings—thereby enhancing their trust in automated experiences.

Rather than merely catering to existing market needs, my design philosophy is to propose new interaction models that facilitate a more natural and emotionally attuned relationship between humans and technology.

This award is not only a recognition of professional competence but also a validation of the seamless integration between human-computer interaction and immersive experiences. In my design philosophy, technology should not simply serve as a tool to enhance efficiency—it should proactively adapt to users, offering experiences that feel natural, fluid, and intuitive.

Winning this award strengthens my confidence in continuing to explore how humans and intelligent systems can coexist, how digital experiences can evoke a sense of reality, and how interaction design can expand beyond traditional paradigms.

The award-winning project AutoSync represents a significant advancement in automated parking and intelligent mobility solutions. By leveraging Cellular Vehicle-to-Everything (C-V2X) communication and establishing real-time connectivity with Roadside Units (RSUs), AutoSync enhances efficiency, safety, and overall user experience, setting a new benchmark for seamless and intelligent urban transportation.

Background:

AutoSync is not merely an automated parking system; it redefines urban spatial management, drawing inspiration from Henri Lefebvre’s theory of the production of space. Lefebvre argued that urban spaces are dynamically shaped by social forces, technological advancements, and policies rather than existing as static entities.

Traditional parking operates on decentralized individual decision-making, leading to inefficiencies and unpredictability. AutoSync integrates real-time data and algorithmic coordination, transforming parking into a systematic, intelligent, and orderly process.

As automation increasingly governs urban space, how does it reshape the human-technology relationship? AutoSync explores this question by ensuring that automation does not replace human decision-making but rather reduces cognitive load, fostering collaborative interactions between humans and intelligent systems—allowing technology to blend into urban life organically rather than being an externally imposed mechanism.

Problem Statement:

The existing parking model suffers from several critical challenges:

Resource Inefficiency – Parking spaces are underutilized, drivers rely on chance, and congestion worsens.

High Cognitive Load – Users must continuously make parking decisions, increasing driving stress.

Outdated Systems – Traditional parking management lacks real-time optimization and does not align with smart transportation advancements.

AutoSync aims to resolve these issues, making parking more intelligent, seamless, and user-friendly, while minimizing the effort required from users.

The most significant challenge was building user trust in the system while maintaining an immersive experience.

In intelligent interaction design, the more autonomous a system becomes, the less control users may feel they have. Establishing clear feedback mechanisms was crucial to ensuring that users always understood the system’s actions and intentions.

In crafting an immersive experience, the challenge was to create digital interactions that feel as natural and perceptible as real-world experiences rather than making users feel like they were engaging with a rigid, artificial interface.

This project prompted me to rethink the balance between information transparency, user agency, and sensory design, ensuring that users could benefit from automation without experiencing discomfort from a lack of control.

As an independent UX designer, industry recognition plays a crucial role in establishing credibility. This award has not only enhanced my professional reputation but also opened doors to new collaborations with leading teams and brands.

Beyond expanding my career opportunities, this recognition provides me with a stronger platform to advocate for the integration of smart interactions and immersive experiences—helping more people understand that UX design is not just about interfaces but about shaping the future relationship between humans and technology.

In my cultural environment, the design industry is often driven by efficiency and market demands, which encourages many designers to focus on optimizing existing experiences rather than challenging conventional paradigms. In contrast, I value design as a means of thought transformation and boundary-pushing.

Interdisciplinary Fusion – Design is more than aesthetics; it is systemic thinking. In an increasingly technologized society, UX design bridges disciplines such as psychology, data analytics, artificial intelligence, sociology, and philosophy. Every project requires balancing functionality, user perception, and technological feasibility.

I deeply appreciate how design connects diverse fields, allowing us to explore how rapid urbanization and technological evolution reshape human experiences.Design does not just satisfy needs—it shapes new interaction models.

In my cultural context, many designs focus on refining existing interactions rather than exploring new engagement paradigms. However, I believe that design should not passively cater to demands—it should actively shape the future.

I admire design’s disruptive potential—its ability to redefine how humans interact with technology and the environment. My aspiration is not merely to improve UX but to introduce entirely new ways for people to perceive and navigate the digital world.

The fusion of technology and human-centered thinking—making technology feel warm and intuitive. In an efficiency-driven culture, rapid technological advancement often leads to disconnected, impersonal experiences. The value of design lies in making cold, logical technology feel instinctive, engaging, and human.

Since my environment prioritizes functionality over human experience, I deeply value the challenge of redefining technology’s role in daily life. My goal is to ensure that automation feels intuitive, immersive experiences evoke emotion, and the human-technology relationship becomes more natural and harmonious.

This perspective reinforces my belief that design is not just a tool for optimization—it is a medium for shaping the future.

China’s design industry is characterized by a strong technological drive and market-oriented approach, which often leads to designs that prioritize meeting existing demands rather than driving profound transformation. In this environment, I do not simply adapt to prevailing trends—instead, I seek to challenge conventional paradigms by exploring how technology can be leveraged to create more human-centered experiences.

At the same time, this environment prompts me to consider a deeper question: Is design merely a tool for efficiency, or can it serve as a catalyst for reshaping social interaction models? My work aims to push the boundaries of design beyond its functional role, fostering a future where human-technology interactions are more fluid, perceptible, and emotionally resonant.

I foresee UX design evolving in two major directions:

The Invisibilization of Smart Interactions:

Design will become increasingly seamless and imperceptible, with systems proactively adapting to users' habits rather than requiring users to learn complex interaction rules.

Multisensory Immersive Experiences:

Interaction design will extend beyond visual interfaces, integrating elements like sound, haptics, and environmental perception to create more holistic, engaging experiences.

Additionally, the role of UX designers will shift from interface designers to relationship architects, shaping how humans and technology coexist in increasingly automated environments.

Look beyond interface design—focus on shaping human-technology interactions. The future of UX design is not just about usability improvements; it is about redefining how humans interact with technology. Trends such as automation, ambient intelligence, spatial computing, and multisensory experiences will shift the focus from "how to make interfaces more user-friendly" to "how to make technology align more naturally with human cognitive patterns."

UX design should not just enhance efficiency—it should ensure that technology integrates seamlessly into life, creating more intuitive and harmonious experiences.

Be willing to experiment—use design as a tool for societal transformation. Many groundbreaking interaction models did not emerge from market demand but from bold experimentation and challenges to existing norms.

Designers should not just follow trends but actively drive technological and societal advancements. Whether working on smart interactions, automation, or immersive experiences, always ask:

- Is my design reshaping the way people interact with their environment?

- Does it make technology more emotionally resonant?

- Am I contributing to a more thoughtful and human-centered future?

- Adopt an interdisciplinary approach—use technology to create experiences with depth and warmth.

Design extends far beyond aesthetic considerations—it intersects with psychology, data science, artificial intelligence, and behavioral science. A deep understanding of these fields will enable designers to craft experiences that are not only functional but also emotionally meaningful.

Technology alone does not create compelling experiences—it is the designer’s ability to interpret human needs, foster emotional connections, and harness technology strategically that determines the impact of a product.

UX design’s ultimate value lies not just in making products easier to use but in leveraging technology to create experiences that feel effortless, intuitive, and engaging.

"Laws of Simplicity" – John Maeda

This book aligns closely with my design philosophy, emphasizing that technology should reduce cognitive load rather than introduce unnecessary complexity.

My creative inspiration often comes from stand-up comedy and traditional crosstalk performances. When working on design projects, I listen to these performances—not necessarily for humor, but because hearing natural, spontaneous conversations helps ground me.

Design can sometimes feel isolating, involving deep thought, complex problem-solving, and multiple iterations. However, the background presence of human voices—whether through comedy, podcasts, or casual conversations—creates a subtle sense of companionship, making the creative process feel more immersive and connected.

I draw inspiration from several designers who have redefined how we interact with technology and objects in everyday life. Oki Sato’s playful and intuitive approach to storytelling in design resonates with me, as I believe good design should not only be functional but also create a sense of emotional connection. Naoto Fukasawa’s ‘design without thought’ philosophy has influenced my belief that interactions should feel effortless, allowing technology to adapt to people rather than forcing people to adapt to technology.

Additionally, John Maeda’s principles of simplicity in design and computation remind me that complexity should be handled by the system, not the user. Whether it’s automating an urban process or creating a sensory-driven digital experience, I strive to make interactions as seamless and natural as possible, ensuring that technology serves as an intuitive extension of human behavior.

Constant exploration and boundary-pushing. Design is not a static discipline—it is an ever-evolving field. I continuously explore emerging technologies, trends, and interaction models, challenging the limits of conventional design thinking.

For me, success does not come from sticking to what works—it comes from staying curious, questioning norms, and relentlessly pursuing new possibilities.

The future of UX design is not just about refining interfaces—it is about shaping how humans and technology coexist.

As technology continues to advance, our role as designers is to ensure that automation becomes more human-centric, that smart systems retain a sense of warmth, and that digital experiences feel as natural and immersive as the real world.

Through my work, I aspire to challenge conventional efficiency-driven paradigms and explore how design can make intelligent systems feel more personal, perceptible, and emotionally resonant. My ultimate goal is to craft experiences where technology is not merely a tool but an intuitive and enriching companion in everyday life.
