I'm a UX designer in Taiwan with a 9-year journalism background, where I honed my skills in distilling complex information into compelling stories. Now, I'm channeling those skills into crafting exceptional user experiences.
Curious about my switch from journalism to UX? Here’s my story.
When I was working as a project manager in the journalism industry, I collaborated with developers and designers to craft innovative stories. We integrated everything from chatbots to user-generated content and data visualizations, enhancing the reader experience and earning Innovative Journalism Awards both locally and internationally.
However, we noticed that our readers weren't fully engaging with our interactive features, sparking my interest in UX and leading to a career shift.
