:wave: 嗨.
I'm YuCheng Kuo, a self-taught designer and engineer from Taiwan. Currently, I work as a UI/UX designer & engineer at Oen Tech, where I design and build digital products that integrate engagement, fundraising, and payment solutions for nonprofits, campaigns, and various organizations.
I'm fascinated by the interplay between technology and our daily lives—how it reshapes our world and how we influence its future development in turn.
I'm driven by the challenge of bridging the gap between design aesthetics and technical feasibility.
My Journey#
My passion for digital design and web technologies emerged from a goal during university: making presentations more engaging. Noticing that most presentations were one-directional, I set out to improve audience engagement by:
- Enhancing visual appeal through layout and typography, trying to increase the interactoin by visual enhancement.
- Incorporating meaningful animations that support rather than distract, motion graphics especailly interested me the most.
- Finding the right presentation tools like Prezi and Pitch that led me to discover the world of web technologies.
These curiosity-driven exploration fostered my passion for both designing feasible solutions and developing with good design principles.
Design Belief#
I believe great design finds the balance between aesthetics, functionality, and technical feasibility. I'm particularly drawn to:
- Systems thinking: Creating scalable foundations through design systems rather than one-off solutions
- Micro-interactions: Crafting those small, delightful moments that make interfaces feel delightful and alive
- Empathetic solutions: Designing with a deep understanding of both user needs and business constraints

- Enjoying films and TV shows that bring genuine smiles
- Reading non-fiction that challenges my thinking and opens new perspectives
- Keeping an eye on emerging technologies, particularly at the intersection of digital and physical experiences
