hi there! my name is chi hoang 🌺
Hi! I’m a Product and UI/UX designer who’s all about creating intuitive, human-centered experiences that make people’s lives easier and more delightful. With over 2.5 years of hands-on experience, I’ve worked on a variety of projects: from sustainable habit-tracking apps to career exploration tools. Across all my work, I stay grounded in core values of accessibility, inclusion, and empathy.
I’m especially drawn to projects that blend creativity, impact, and clarity. Whether I’m building dashboards, crafting advocacy content, or mapping thoughtful user flows, I approach each project with curiosity and a strong intention to design solutions that are both functional and meaningful.
I studied Cognitive Science (Human-Computer Interaction) and Economics at UC Santa Cruz, where I first fell in love with the intersection of human behavior and design. It’s a foundation that continues to shape my work today, inspiring me to ground my work in curiosity, intention, and a passion for designing meaningful solutions.
