Graduating Mid-Year Showcase

YAQI (Vicky) DONG

As a UI/UX interaction designer, I craft intuitive, AI-driven experiences that integrate seamlessly into daily life. I specialize in smart retail and digital ecosystems, aiming to enhance engagement, accessibility, and efficiency. I envision a future where AI and design reshape digital commerce through smart assistants and personalized systems. A key project, the Smart Water App, deepened my skills in Figma and data-informed design. Guided by values of eco-consciousness, accessibility, and ethical innovation, I seek to design for both people and the planet.

YAQI (Vicky) DONG, Design Personalised Dashboard Interface(luxurious)

The purpose of this luxurious dashboard is to provide users with a comprehensive overview of their personal health, lifestyle, and financial well-being. It delivers critical information such as health data (heart rate, blood pressure, body fat, and weight), sleep duration, water consumption, daily diet and nutrition tracking, time management, social media usage, travel records, and financial management. This information is essential for users to monitor and optimize their overall well-being, helping them achieve their health, productivity, and financial goals. User tasks include tracking these metrics, making informed decisions, and adjusting behaviors based on real-time insights.

YAQI (Vicky) DONG, Redesign UI(personalized time management app)

I designed a personalized time management application to help users effectively manage their time and improve their study and work efficiency through interaction with virtual pets. During the redesign phase, my goal was to create a fun, cleaner, friendlier, data-driven, and well-structured application. The target user group is mainly to improve the time management ability of students with heavy schoolwork. By enhancing the user interface and interactive experience, I hope users will find more fun and motivation when using the app, while benefiting from a personalized reward system to help them achieve their time management goals. This will make time management less boring and challenging.

Therefore, how to improve the inclusiveness and accessibility of urban public space through socially responsible design, especially for the elderly, has become a topic of great concern.
