ABOUT
junru (Ann) | UX Designer & Multi-Media Artist
talks about #design #tech #game
I love people and I design for people.
When I’m not at work, I travel, take pictures, and read, constantly seeking new inspirations.
I’ve been to 19 countries and still counting. My travel experiences enrich my vision and empathy as a designer.
Btw this profile picture was taken with PsychBlues #5, my new favorite ISO 400 film!
