👋 Hey, I'm Sophia!

(In Chinese: 杨嘉 Yang Jia)

I'm a ꙳ self-taught but full-stack꙳ product designer, studying Communication and Data Science at the University of Southern California.

Speaking of my design process…

💡 It's systematic and adaptable.

My design journey began with curiosity

🤔 How can visual elements and data insights merge to craft compelling stories?

From my previous experiences in research, I probed into people’s minds to understand their needs and challenges with a wide variety of products and services. But…what happens next?

My desire to create tangible solutions that address people’s problems led me to design, where I've been exploring how visual elements and data can come together to tell impactful stories that resonate.

My goal is to

🖌️ Connect pixels with people, make technology more accessible, and push the boundaries of human interaction with the digital world.

I believe that good design goes beyond aesthetics — it’s about fostering connection and understanding. I want to bring together creativity and analytical thinking to develop designs that not only look great but also inspire and make a difference.
