Canvas Interface Redesign is an interface design group project that helps to improve the user experience of Canvas. The current layout of Canvas’s Homepage has much information that is not useful to students and is not conducive to assignment completion. Base on the experience of the recent Canvas homepage, our team listed out some major issues and we design our interview questions. Since almost every student uses the canvas, we decided to interview both lower level and upper-level students from different schools and college. After we did the observation interviews and researchers, we decided to redesign the Canvas into a customized homepage that would fulfill different needs for different students.

I am a BFA student at the University of Michigan, concentrating on Industrial/Product Design. I'm particularly interested in furniture design and are continuously exploring more possibilities for future furniture.
I enjoy working with people from different backgrounds, and also enjoy working with various topics to get more inspirations. I want to be an artist and designer that create meaningful works to influence people, inspire society, and even to explore the various design possibilities of the future. I have diverged from the social norm of the past in my homeland, expressing my worldview through my work. I grew up in China and moved to the United States with my parents at the age of fourteen. I hope my future work could be a reflection of my education and my experience of two diverse cultures.
