About me 关于我

As an architecture graduate turned UI/UX designer, I bring a unique perspective to my design approach. Drawing inspiration from architectural design methods, I create digital experiences that seamlessly blend form and function. Just as in architecture, I believe that user-centered design should harmonize aesthetics with usability, resulting in intuitive and visually captivating interfaces.

作为一名建筑学毕业生转型为 UI/UX 设计师，我为我的设计方法带来了独特的视角。我从建筑设计方法中汲取灵感，创造出将形式和功能无缝融合的数字体验。就像在建筑中一样，我相信以用户为中心的设计应该将美学与可用性相协调，从而产生直观且视觉上迷人的界面。

How architectural principles can be leveraged to enhance the product design of web applications:

  1. Solid Foundation: Just as a building's foundation supports its structure, a well-designed architecture forms the foundation of a web app. It defines the underlying structure, databases, and infrastructure. By carefully planning the architecture, product designers can ensure scalability, reliability, and security. This strong foundation allows for the seamless integration of new features and enhancements without compromising the app's stability.

  2. User-Centered Design: Architectural methods emphasize considering the needs of the end-users, which aligns perfectly with user-centered design principles. Product designers must prioritize user experience (UX) and user interface (UI) design, ensuring that the app's architecture supports intuitive navigation, responsive interfaces, and accessibility features. User feedback should drive iterative design improvements.

  3. Efficiency and Performance: Architects optimize buildings for efficiency and performance, and the same principles apply to web app design. Efficient architecture can significantly impact load times and overall performance. Product designers must work closely with developers to ensure that the app's design minimizes unnecessary data requests, optimizes code, and prioritizes responsive design for various devices and screen sizes.

  4. Scalability and Growth: Just as architects plan for future expansion, web app product designers must anticipate scalability. A well-architected web app should be able to accommodate increased user loads and additional features without a complete overhaul. Scalability ensures that the product can grow alongside user demands and market trends.

  5. Security and Data Protection: Security is a paramount concern in both architecture and web app design. Architects incorporate robust security measures into building structures, and web app product designers must do the same. This includes encryption, user authentication, secure data storage, and regular security audits to protect user data and maintain trust.

  6. Maintenance and Updates: Architectural blueprints often include plans for maintenance and renovations. In web app design, product designers should consider the ease of maintenance and updates. Modular and well-documented code, along with version control practices, simplifies ongoing development and ensures that the app remains up to date with evolving technologies and user needs.

  7. Feedback and Iteration: Architectural projects benefit from continuous feedback and adjustments during construction. Similarly, web app design is an iterative process. Product designers should gather user feedback, track performance metrics, and adapt the design and architecture accordingly to keep the app relevant and competitive.
