My Designerly Collection
Hi, my name is Yuebo [pronounced you-eh-bo-ah(short)] Wang. I came from the northeast part of China with an undergraduate background in Computer Science. With a dream of becoming a designer, and combinging my interest in design, technology and communication. I applied for the Human-Computer Interaction Design program at Indiana University. After two year’s studying, I have seen my transformation from a non-designer to a designer, armed with my own design philosophy.
Now I just finished my master's degree, and I am looking forward to a new start as an interaction design practitioner to contribute to the field, utilizing what I have learned as a designer to create elegant and thoughtful design solutions that have real resonance and value to human beings, and to influence the world positively with my passion.
