Hi, my name is Katie 尔琪.
Naturally a human observer, I choose to interact with the world through design.
my story with
Psychology
my story with
Design & Art
my favorite
Products
Growing up in a competitive environment where education denotes a life long development direction, I grew strong interests for the deterministic factors of human development, and the effects of positive and negative experiences on adolescent growth. Innately feeling-driven and compassionate, I took on the exercise to observe what makes people unsatisfactory, and what drives things better. Psychology satisfies my curiosity of how people think, behave, and feel.
Up till this point, I have studied Psychological topics including: Developmental Psychology, Cognitive Psychology, Behavioral Psychology, Community Psychology, and practices for Psychotherapy.
My interests for Art is reflected by my passion for historical artifacts and the cultural connotations contained. This leads to my love for design, the wisdom behind the beautiful looks, problem-solving interactions, and deep understanding of human stories. My goal as a designer is always to create positive emotions by creating usable and enlightening experiences.
My favorite books & media in this category includes: the Design of Everyday Things (by Don Norman), Civilizations (by BBC), The Story of Art (by E.H Gombrich).
Game: The Legend of Zelda, Tears of the Kingdom
Because of its unprecendented freedom of control, flawless details, invigorating animations, and storytelling that makes me cry.

Because this was my first professional tennis racket, and it provides precise control and powerful strikes.
