or, Back to Work
I've been volunteering for UXPA Seattle chapter contributing my visual design skills. I've worked on the organization's website redesign, conference and events logo and poster design, presentation slides design, etc..
UXPA Seattle Website Redesign
In this project, I collaborated with Yuriy Zaremba, UX Design Lead in Amazon, and Allen Luik, project manager to redesign the visual for the UXPA Seattle website. Three of us met every two weeks for about three months. During each meeting, I would presented to them what I had created in the past two weeks, and gathered feedback in aspects of engineering feasibility and visual design. It was my first visual design project for web, and I had learned a lot from people I worked with.
The website was launched by the organization in May 2015, you could see it here: http://uxpaseattle.org/
UXPA 2016 and 2017 Conference Logo Design
UXPA has been holding an international-wide conference annually. Each year a city around the globe is selected for hosting the conference.
In 2015, I designed the 2016 annual conference logo, which is held in Seattle in June. I created the icon for the space needle that matches with the existing brand identity and featuring the city of Seattle.
I also designed the 2017 conference logo, but I couldn't publish it here since UXPA hasn't announced the news.
Projects for Friends
Chinese Canteen Poster Design
I designed a serious of posters to stick on the lighting boxes in a Chinese canteen. The solution is to follow the brand's identity as traditional Chinese restaurant with caligraphy and Chinese painting elements.
