Hi everyone! My name is Rui Wang, but you can just call me Ray. I'm originally from Beijing, China, and this is my first semester at AAU. I'm currently studying Interaction & UI/UX Design.
Before coming here, I worked as a product designer for about three years, mainly focusing on international digital products and e-commerce experiences. I also completed my first master's degree in Creative Computing at UAL in London.
I decided to return to school because I want to explore new directions in design, especially AI and emerging forms of interaction. I'm also excited to learn more about front-end development because I think understanding how design is actually built will help me become a better product designer.
Outside of design, I love cooking, photography, exploring new places, and I'm definitely a cat person. I just moved to the Bay Area recently, so I'm still getting used to everything here. I'm excited to meet everyone and learn together this semester!
