About
Creative Thinker, Design Engineer
The name is Fiona.
Hey you! Great to see you here!
Growing up, I am never one to be satisfied with the status quo. Simply sketching out ideas is not enough, I have to build. I am constantly in the state of challenging the existing and push it one step forward. Being a curious person, answering the "why" is my burning passion.
Having a career as a designer, it is only natural for me to appreciate the beauty of well-balanced creations. But, I am not only a designer. I am an engineer, a researcher, and an analyst. I love the process of validating a design, and telling stories with the data. I find user insights to be one of the most humbling things for a designer.
At work, I am at my best in the mornings. I am most fluent at bridging gaps between design an engineering. I am happiest when I know my work brings value and meaning to others' lives.
Outside of work I enjoy learning new things (ideas, books, languages..you name it) and hanging out with old friends. With that said of course I do love to meet new people too! Send me a note, I would love to connect with you!

Design Expertise
UX Design
From concept to delivery, I am familiar with every key step required to create great user experiences.
Prototyping & Usability Testing
Validate early and validate often is the my firm belief in how to match product expectations with the user's needs! Not only can I create production level prototypes, I also conduct testings to catch the potential error before it happens.
Web Design
With solid understanding of both the aesthetic and technical web design aspects, I don't just put pretty pictures together, I bring dream websites to life.
