Ying Lai

Digital Media master's student in the Faculty of Communication, Art and Technology

I'm now in Vancouver, about to graduate from CDM at SFU, and seeking the right fit for a freelance or full-time position! If you coincidently have a phenomenal project, please don't hesitate to PM me. I am a motivated UI/UX specialist. Years of multiple backgrounds as a UI/UX designer, web designer and aesthetic marketer accumulated my capabilities with various experiences in resolving problems. I was responsible for producing RWD design, web apps and mobile applications, contributing to iterating the usability and journey. Besides this, focusing on collaboration and visual presentation is also my secret to making my clients feel satisfied.

WHY DID YOU CHOOSE TO COME TO SFU?

I'm a visual addict who desires to explore any opportunity in digital design. As a 5-year street learner in design, I'm here at SFU to find a more systematic education in UI/UX/Web and visual design skills for strengthening my repertoire.

HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE YOUR RESEARCH OR YOUR PROGRAM TO A FAMILY MEMBER?

My research is now focusing on how to support LGBTQ2+ youth to alleviate their anxiety or confusion about sexuality and self-identity with a digital solution.

WHAT ARE YOU PARTICULARLY ENJOYING ABOUT YOUR STUDIES/RESEARCH AT SFU?

As an international student, I can see the possibility and flexibility to create a non-profit product for minority groups during my research and study at SFU.

HAVE YOU BEEN THE RECIPIENT OF ANY MAJOR OR DONOR-FUNDED AWARDS? IF SO, PLEASE TELL US WHICH ONES AND A LITTLE ABOUT HOW THE AWARDS HAVE IMPACTED YOUR STUDIES AND/OR RESEARCH.
