little creative notes

"design feels closer to writing a quiet letter than building a machine." "设计更像写一封安静的信,而不是搭建一台机器。" — may, 2025
a screen full of warm colors makes me want to slow down and pay attention. 一屏温暖的颜色总让我想慢下来,多看一会儿。 — apr, 2025
tiny details matter: a hover, a delay, a soft shadow — these are the love. 小细节真的重要:一个悬停,一段延迟,一个柔和的阴影——这些都是爱。 — mar, 2025
the best products feel like a friend who gets it, not a stranger asking questions. 最好的产品像一个懂你的朋友,而不是一个不停问问题的陌生人。 — feb, 2025

about me关于我

Skylar portrait

A designer who notices feelings, systems, and tiny details.一个会同时留意感受、系统和微小细节的设计者。

I am currently studying UX at the University of Michigan. My work usually starts from a simple question: where does this experience make people pause, worry, repeat themselves, or feel unsure? I like research because it makes abstract users feel real, and I like interaction design because small changes can make someone’s day feel easier.我目前在密歇根大学学习 UX。我的设计通常从一个很简单的问题开始:这个体验,哪里让人卡住、犹豫、反复解释,或者不知道下一步该做什么?我喜欢研究这些,因为它能让我把抽象的“用户”一步步完善成真实的人物形象;也喜欢交互设计,因为一个很小的改动,真的可能让别人的一天轻松一点。

Design direction设计方向UX research, interaction design, product thinking, visual storytelling.UX 研究、交互设计、产品思考、视觉叙事。
How I work我的工作方式Careful, curious, emotionally aware, and willing to iterate.细心、有好奇心、能感知情绪,也愿意反复打磨。
Creative side创作面Singing, photography, light, rhythm, and small human moments.唱歌、摄影、光线、还有生活里那些细小的,生动的瞬间。
What keeps me going让我有动力的事Helping people feel less lost, less stressed, and more understood.让别人少一点困惑,少一点压力,多一点被理解的感觉。

some fun facts ᕕ( ᐛ )ᕗ一些关于我的冷知识 ᕕ( ᐛ )ᕗ

personality人格类型ISFP · observant empathISFP · 细腻的共情者Quietly observant, sensitive to tone, and often drawn to work that feels human rather than purely technical.安静地观察,对语气和感受很敏锐,也更容易被有人味儿的工作吸引,而不仅仅是技术本身。
zodiac strengths星盘里的优势Capricorn Sun · Cancer Moon · Libra Rising太阳摩羯 · 月亮巨蟹 · 上升天秤This combination points to practical ambition, emotional depth, strong observation, compassion, adaptability, charm, and a natural sense of balance. In design, I read this as: build carefully, notice what others miss, and make things feel considerate without losing structure.这个组合对应的优点是务实的行动力、情感深度、敏锐观察、共情能力、适应力、亲和感,以及对平衡的天然追求。放到设计里,我会理解成:认真搭好结构,留意别人容易忽略的细节,让体验既有秩序,也有照顾人的温度。
