Hello! I’m Leo Jon or you could call me L.J. I have a bachelor’s in Computer Science and my passion is design. I love to create products that not only I could be proud of using myself, but also make others happy. I have always believed in the importance of design and how it can make or break a product. After all, design surrounds us! Understanding the user’s needs and wants is also valuable which can be achieved with good communication and empathy.
During my time at UOP, I often found myself taking up the mock-up designer role in my teams that would design and sketch our apps and games. I’ve always had an interest in keeping up to date with design trends and reflected that in my work along with figuring out any new methods of design. Being able to reflect what changed my perception on the products I use is something I naturally find myself doing. Over time, some of my favorite apps become convoluted which drives me to use them less often or abandoned. Other times, I’ll only use an app for one feature and that’s as far as my engagement goes.
Since this is a fresh path for me to take, I’m open to learning from others and gaining knowledge in the field of UX/Product Design. Currently, I am self-studying what it takes to become a Product Designer and working on improving my skills through hands-on experience with Figma.
