Heyyy I am Xinran Yao, but you could also call me Joy! Thank you so much for taking the time to view my portfolio, it's a pleasure to meet you!
I'm currently an undergraduate student in the University of Washington's Interaction Design Program!
I was born in South America, Chile and later moved to China with my family before settling in Canada for high school. After graduating, I attended the University of Toronto, after a year of training as an architect, I gradually realized that I am more into the design, as I've always did in my early ageπ¨
I have a Deep Passion for Drawing, and my innate artistic talent led me to pursue a career in design! I'm particularly drawn to storyboarding, narrative creation, UX design, and character design!
When I am not hunched over my laptop working with design software, you will usually find me Snowboarding / Surfingπ Hiking / Traveling π Drawing my Pirate Adventure Story storyboards π‘ Cooking Mediterranean Cuisine π
It's been a Great Journey, and I'm now eager to take on challenges and make a positive impact! If you're looking for an imaginative and enthusiastic designer!
