About me
I’m Qian, a designer who never stops exploring and discovering new things.
I’m deeply passionate about User Experience and Interaction Design.
I strive to be a designer with a researcher’s mindset — using one of the most powerful tools of design: empathy.
My goal is to bring empathy into every project, to truly understand user needs, and to bridge the gap between the virtual and the real world.
“To be a Designer, as a Researcher.”
– Qian Liu
