My name is Glorie Gao. I am an experienced UI/UX designer who passionately solves problems for users who have diverse cultural backgrounds and needs. I enjoy working with a team of talents to develop innovative solutions catering to project stakeholders collectively. I have trained as a visual artist since I was little; I am skilled at using visual mediums to tell stories that fascinate my audience. I am constantly learning new ways to engage user interactions using emerging technologies such as AI game engines, AR/VR, and the Internet of Things (IoT). I am very excited to explore the new patterns of interactions between humans, objects, and the environment.
