Week 1
Hi, this is Lan!
I have a background in advertising, working as a creative art
director before coming to Design and Technology Program at Parsons
School of Design. In college I studied advertising and psychology. I
spend a good amount of time in the nature hiking and observing
interesting things around me. I try to get out of the city and be in
the woods every weekend, getting fresh air and learning about trees,
fungi, birds with my outdoor buddies. In the past, I’ve done
projects and ad campaigns that are related to animals like
anti-forestation PSA for wildlife protection. However, my focus and
perspective on these projects have always been human-centered as my
audiences have always been people. Therefore, I’m more than thrilled
to learn and practice interaction design from a different angle,
which I believe will help me cultivate a more well-rounded design
perspective.
