Joanne Huang is a purpose-driven designer who brings people and teams together.

Welcome to my corner of the internet.

I'm passionate about design's power to unite people and improve lives.

I'm skilled at solving complex problems through thoughtful design, integrating everyone's insights to find shared solutions, from strategy to refining user experiences.

I've worked on diverse projects, including social media, technology, virtual venue design, R&D, exhibitions, interior, and architecture. I find inspiration in listening to people and sharing their passions.

Currently, I’m pursuing my dual master's degree in information science and architecture at the University of Michigan, and I’m actively looking for 2024 full-time position.

Feel free to reach out to me below :)
