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.

Personal Project ｜ 1 Months ｜ 2019
A chair designed and made in Copenhagen
The first chair that I designed and made during the furniture study in Denmark. It is a combination of classic and modern design, using simple straight lines and curves. The chair has a very unique and comfortable armrest that fits perfectly with the arm angle. This furniture reflects my understanding of both Danish and Chinese designs and is a cultural integration that aims to overcome the cultural barrier in the context of furniture design.
