Hi, I’m Fawn. I used to design software products for businesses to make them easier to use. It was an interesting job, but something was missing. I realized that what I really wanted was to focus on my creativity and artistic side.

That’s why I decided to go back to school and become a graphic design student at Seattle Central College. I love being able to combine my technical skills with my creativity to create beautiful and effective designs. It’s a perfect fit for me.

It’s easy to get bogged down in the day-to-day grind, but I never want to lose my love for creating beautiful things. Being an art director and brand strategist will allow me to continue to do what I love while also helping others achieve their goals.

So, where do I want to go from here? Well, I’m excited to see where my career takes me. I know that I have a lot to learn and a lot of hard work ahead of me, but I’m ready for the challenge. I want to work for a design agency that values creativity and innovation. I want to be a part of a team that pushes boundaries and creates something truly unique.

In closing, I just want to say that I’m excited for what the future holds. I’m passionate about design, and I can’t wait to see where this journey takes me. Who am I?

“Breaking Stereotypes” – Pair people up with someone they wouldn’t normally interact with based on stereotypes or assumptions. Have them get to know each other and share their experiences.

Why it will elicit an interesting response: Breaking stereotypes is a topic that has become increasingly relevant in our society. By pairing people up with someone they wouldn’t normally interact with based on stereotypes or assumptions, we can see how their preconceptions and biases influence their interactions and how they can break down those barriers to find common ground. This video concept can spark meaningful conversations about diversity, inclusivity, and empathy.

In terms of participants, we should select them base on the survey. Before they take part in, they should make a sequence about who they rarely interact with in this whole academic year. Then, we could also pair participants up according to their lists and let them talk about the specific stereotypes to see how their assumptions and expectations are challenged.

The “Breaking Stereotypes” video concept has the potential to elicit interesting responses by challenging participants’ assumptions and biases. By pairing people up with someone they wouldn’t normally interact with, we can create meaningful interactions and spark conversations about diversity, inclusivity, and empathy. With a diverse group of participants and a comfortable space to film, we can capture a good sense of how the prompt will work and create a thought-provoking video.

According the information of Taco Bell Metaverse Wedding, I have joined the Decentraland Events Platform. I think it would be fun and interesting to see what was happening.

I would like to talk about the experience and feel when I join the Platform.

Firstly, it was such a pity that I did not watch the wedding because I always have dinner in 7 PM which is the time for the event. But keeping the feeling of curiosity, I have joined the platform in the daytime twice. What is wired that there is no people show up in the daytime. Finally, i have join the platform at 8 PM. What make me feel no good is there are lots of people grouping together and gambling. Wow, it makes sense for me. It is a kind of entertainment which attracts user to join Metaverse.

Secondly, I think Metaverse is something far away from the human life. It is not the technique could be widely used for recent future. When I was basically just wondering around, instead of thinking about finding someone and have a chat with them in the Metaverse, I think it will be great to see what will make people spend their time in the Metaverse. In other word, during this process, I did not think people were trustworthy. It might be because I could not see people’s faces and everything for me was fake.

Reflecting on an experience where I failed to meet the expectations of a project, I’d like to share a story from my time as an interaction designer in a high-tech company. Our monthly product requirement review meetings were crucial in ensuring we were meeting user needs and explaining how the interaction worked. However, during one such meeting, the product manager delivered the document late, leaving me with no time to design the wireframe properly before the looming deadline. I did my best to complete the project with the same quality as before, but had to compromise due to time constraints.

Looking back, I realize that I should have prioritized the most critical aspects of the design to complete the project on time. To do so, I should have reviewed the product requirement document and identified the functions that the developer needed to finish the next month. I would then have focused on designing the essential elements of the main page and ensured that all of them were included, leaving the design of feedback until the next meeting.

During the meeting, I should have collaborated with the engineer to address any technical problems and modify the design accordingly. After the meeting, we would have announced any changes made in the group chat. I now realize the importance of effective time management and prioritization to ensure that all projects are completed on time and to the best of my abilities.

As someone with a background in UX design, I have developed strong hard skills in this field. My expertise in UX design, along with my familiarity with design guidelines, make me a valuable asset to any company looking for a designer who can create human-centered products that deliver specific results. These technical skills are important in getting me the interview and showing my ability to perform the job.

However, I understand that in today’s competitive job market, it’s not just hard skills that matter. Soft skills, such as logical thinking and analysis, and project management, are just as important in securing and thriving in a job. These skills have been honed through my experience as a UX designer, as I constantly need to analyze user data and manage projects from start to finish.

Going forward, I want to continue to grow my skills in artificial intelligence techniques and aesthetic design. These hard skills will not only increase my value as a designer but also enable me to tackle new and exciting challenges in the field.

In addition, I recognize that improving my communication and persuasion skills is crucial for my success as a designer. Being a bilingual speaker, I sometimes struggle to adapt to English-speaking work environments, but with improved communication skills, I’ll be able to more effectively convey my ideas and opinions. Persuasion skills are also crucial in collaborative settings where conflicts may arise. By having the ability to persuasively guide a project to success, I can ensure that everyone is on the same page and working towards a common goal.

In conclusion, both hard and soft skills are essential for success in any field. My background in UX design has allowed me to develop strong technical skills, but I understand the importance of also focusing on soft skills such as communication and persuasion. With continued growth in both areas, I am confident in my ability to succeed in my future endeavors.
