Hello, I'm Augustina

A Product/UX Designer, an Agile Practitioner, a Problem-solver, and a Visual Communicator.

To me, design is not just a job. It's my life-long passion. I believe design shouldn't be a way to make people limited but to empower people and make everyone achieve more.

I hope to design inclusive products with great accessibility that the general public could use, so people with all different abilities could use the designs without any limits.I hope to design inclusive products with great accessibility that the general public could use, so people with all different abilities could use the designs without any limits.

Why Design?
I was volunteering at the No.1 Social Welfare House in Changsha, Hunan. In my experiences, I helped many seniors with degraded abilities in their vision, hearing, and mobility abilities to adapt to modern technologies. Seven years ago, I came to the U.S. At that time, I started thinking about if there is a solution for seniors with degraded abilities to live without any assistance from others. Studying design helped me get the answer: accessibility and inclusive design. Hence, I realized the importance of accessibility and inclusion for a product. I'm dedicated to creating accessible and inclusive designs.

Watermelon is the fuel of my creativity, so...

Eat watermelon! 🍉
