Hey there! I’m Guan 👋
As a UX/UI designer originally from the Bay Area, I’ve recently embraced a new chapter in Irvine. My design philosophy centers around using design thinking to transform creative ideas into functional prototypes, always with a strong focus on understanding user needs. I enjoy bridging the gap between users and products, ensuring intuitive and impactful experiences. As a mentor with Avocademy and Crimson Education, I guide and inspire the next generation of designers, offering quality reviews and redesign insights. I also find fulfillment in graphic design, particularly helping small businesses enhance their brand presence. Let's collaborate to create something extraordinary!

When I am not designing… Who am I?
Gamer 🎮
I like to play games with friends to refill my creative juice, my favorite games at the time are League of Legends, Wild Rift, GTA V Online, and all NBA 2K games.
Chef 👨🍳
I find joy in cooking, especially when others appreciate my food. Seeing the smiles on their faces is the ultimate reward for my efforts. One of my proudest achievements was preparing meals for my roommate during my senior year in college. Now, living with my girlfriend, cooking together has become my favorite way to relax off work.
Sport 🏀 🏸
I enjoy playing sports, with basketball and badminton being my go-to sports. Additionally, I'm a huge NBA fan and am knowledgeable about many fun facts within the league.
