Weiling Huang
I believed that perfection in design is not achievable because it is a process of unlimited iteration and I enjoyed making improvements that move the design forward.
Studying abroad at a young age, my ability to adapt becomes my strength, which makes me skilled at facing different challenges and finding solutions. Having this background allows me to see the world in a different light and being bilingual allows me to access different inspirations and trends in Asia, which helps my design thinking process become more inclusive. I enjoyed the process of rendering as it brings the concept to life and it allows aesthetics to be presented. Following graduation, I am willing to accept more challenges and aim to bring concepts into the market and potentially create an impact on user's daily life.
