I’m nana.
Product designer who loves CSS magic
I specialise in interactive & responsive design
with accessibility in mind.
UI/UX | Interaction Design | Design Research | Rapid Prototyping | Design system | Branding
I have taken various paths on my journey.
I have gained experience in visual design since 2014, handled both physical and digital design including branding, campaign,
books, magazines, EDM, web design, social media and so forth.
Since 2017, I wanted to pivot into a digital-driven product design. So I learnt web technologies, HTML, CSS and JavaScrip, especially I love CSS.
Nowadays, I'm actively looking for Product position.
I love learning new methods, tools and languages.
