About me

Hi, I’m Janice (Jiaying) Wang.

What I love...

I love that Interaction Design is at the intersection of multiple fields, allowing me to find creative ways to solve complex problems and create easy-to-use solutions that fulfill users’ needs. I love digging into human behaviors in order to design intuitive user flows, low to high-fidelity interfaces, and functional micro-interactions.

For me, the heart of UX/UI is communication and collaboration, building that connection between experience and the user.
I started my creative journey drawing landscapes and painting with watercolors, followed by years immersed in illustration and digital design. I’m a former Product Designer @Creator Now, a UI Designer @WB Games Boston, and UX/UI designer @CareerTu.
