Kelly Wang portrait

👋 it's nice to meet you!

I'm Kelly, a student at the University of Washington pursuing a degree in Informatics with a concentration in Human Computer Interaction.

My interest in product design stems from a passion of using art, design, and technology to solve problems for others.

so how'd i get here?

My journey into design began at a young age.

From launching

an online

clothing store and

I have

continuously

pursued

social change

has also

taught me

design’s

potential

in

inspiring

positive action.

As I continue my design journey, I'm still actively seeking new opportunities to make meaningful impact. If you're interested in working together, I'd love to connect and discuss how we can create something extraordinary together.

design is about

💖 Compassion

My design process is rooted in empathy, driven by a care to understand those I design for. My goal is to create solutions that resonate with others.

🏆 Proactivity

I take initiative, set ambitious goals, and pursue them with determination. This mindset fuels my drive to overcome obstacles and consistently deliver impactful results.

🤝 Collaboration

I believe that powerful designs emerge from collaboration. By fostering an inclusive environment, we can explore new possibilities that we might not have discovered individually.

🧶 Crocheting and rug making

I've dabbled in tapestry crochet, punch needling, and amigurumi. I love gifting my friends something uniquely for them.

🎧 Listening to true crime

I enjoy listening to true crime podcasts while I work. My favorite podcast is Rotten Mangos by Stephanie Soo.

🎨 Drawing cute illustrations

I'm a freelance illustrator on the side. One of my goals is to open a shop and sell stickers, keychains, and prints of my art :)

🏸 Playing badminton

I'm not an athletic person, but badminton is one physical activity I enjoy! So far, I have competed in five tournaments.

💅 Painting my nails holographic

Thanks to HoloTaco, I have discovered the wondrous world of special effects nail polish. No more crèmes for me anymore!

👗 Shopping second-hand

I love to experiment with my personal style and thrifting is an affordable way to do so. Half my closet is second-hand now!
