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!
