NUS: College of Design & Engineering
A semester of international study focused on UX/UI, motion design, and narrative thinking.
Overview
During my semester abroad at the National University of Singapore’s School of Engineering and Industrial Design, I immersed myself in a diverse range of design disciplines that further honed my skills in user experience and interface design. This rich experience broadened my perspective as a design student, allowing me to encounter new problems I had never considered before and explore approaches to problem-solving that differ from those I see in the United States. Much of my work centered on themes of sustainability and community, which continue to influence my design practice.
Coursework
UX/UI (user-centered principles, research methods, prototyping), Motion Design (animation and visual storytelling for interaction), and Narrative in Engineering (story structures + design thinking).
Process
Frame problems → plan and run lightweight research/testing → map flows → prototype in Figma → layer motion studies/micro-interactions → iterate with feedback → document cross-cultural insights and outcomes.
