Hey there! I’m Yuka Fan

🧠

I’m currently pursuing a Masters in Human Centered Design & Engineering at the University of Washington. In 2023, I graduated from University of Michigan with a bachelor’s degree in Cognitive Science. At the intersection of human minds and technology, UX design allows me to craft creative solutions and make meaningful impacts - this is what I love about it.

🌏

I moved around growing up. I’m Taiwanese but I was raised in Japan and China. I also lived in Canada, and now in the US. My experiences have shaped me into a global citizen with a profound appreciation for diverse cultures, a keen sense of adaptability, and a restless energy to explore the world.

🌿

Outside of work, I’m a big fan of nature and art. I love hiking, yoga, surfing, making earrings with stone clay, playing music on my piano and electric guitar, and playing Zelda on switch.

Artistic expression is where I find pure joy and my truest self 🀘

Having a creative outlet is important to me, whether it's through making art and music, crafting earrings, designing yoga flows…and UX design!
