About me
Hello, I'm Miyu. Thank you for visiting my portfolio! During my time in consulting, I became increasingly interested in design thinking and problem-solving. Through learning UX design, I got interested in designing digital products and services that have the power to elevate our daily lives. I am learning more about accessibility and inclusive design currently. I have some background in journalism as well, so I hope I can sprinkle some creativity, story telling and create designs that can put a smile on someone out there!
