A Little Bit about Me

Hi! I'm Yifei, an aspiring UX designer who wishes to create value and cultivate great experience for users through design.

I am currently pursuing an MFA in User Experience Design at SCAD. I previously graduated from CMU with a Bachelor's degree in CS and HCI.

As a person with synesthesia, everything I feel has color. With all the colorful input from the world, I wish to express myself through creativity, whether it is art, music, or literature.

Creative experiences have always helped me connect to the world, and I wish to help others achieve so as well. I volunteered to teach autistic children to paint and joined the Memory Project to paint portraits for children in need around the world.

What others say about me..

"Yifei Chen is an excellent designer and project leader. She was essential to a three-person team developing an immersive AR experience. She embraced the highly complex and open-ended project by using various human-centered research methods. By leveraging these activities, the core theme for artists sharing their work in a physical and digital realm was created. Yifei shows great professionalism, trusts the process, works well with others, and is always open to feedback and improvements. Yifei is an asset to any design team or challenge. "

-- Prof. Wayne Chung at Carnegie Mellon University

"Yifei Chen has done lovely work designing and programming an educational application from scratch that will assist K-12 AI educators. Her work combines artistry, programming, and UI design. She has been a pleasure to work with and would be a great asset to any team producing media-related software."

-- Prof. David Touretzky at Carnegie Mellon University

"Yifei Chen is an exceptional designer with thorough attention to detail. Her dedication to her craft and careful consideration surrounding a problem leads to innovative design solutions. She is a key asset to any team not just because of her technical skills but her ability to bring out the best in her team members!"
