Yixin Ma
I am a creative industrial designer, interested in user experience design and graphic design, passionate about designing meaningful products which could bring users a new and exciting experience.
I am active when designing and I’m delighted to explore all parts and areas of design because I believe all aspects of design are connected. I also value every chance to design and learn, as I want to explore new design thinking and make creations. I enjoy my experience being a graphic designer in Chinese society at the University. I am energetic to find a better solution for my concept. I value the design process, researching, sketching, developing and user testing make a design more meaningful. Users are the centre of every design decision, enhance the user experience, make creations to our daily life are the primary purpose of design. I am looking for an internship or a placement after my graduation and I expect to do a master study in user experience design. I believe the future of our life will be more digital and interactive, but users will always be the heat of every design, I would like to broaden my knowledge and develop my skills further in a master study.
