My name is Xinyu Gu and I currently live in Melbourne. I'm very interested in user experience design and working towards more efficient, more human interactions. I like to explore ways to connect people and things, understand people's needs and ideas, and use visually appealing interfaces and soft tones to give people a more comfortable experience in a simple and efficient way. In addition, I care very much about social issues and hope that my works can bring people more thinking, such as the issue of abortion. In addition to traditional design, I am willing to try more new technologies and believe that there is no end to learning. Looking forward to better cooperation with you all.
