A Little More About Me
Hi, I'm Selina Lu. I design and research to understand human emotion and intention.
Currently…
I'm pursuing my Masters in Human-Computer Interaction at the University of Michigan (Go Blue!) to grow my technical skills and exploring the different intersections of technology and design.
I believe great design starts with listening, and I’m always looking for new ways to make the digital world a little more human. This is why research and testing ground my foundation in UX strategy. I want to create sustainable solutions that solve real-world problems while incorporating principles of accessibility and connectivity.
Outside of UX…
I still love design and being creative! I enjoy exploring different creative outlets such as video editing, crochet, and painting.
