Info-

I'm Hua, an interdisciplinary UX/UI designer and art director with a passion for design and visual storytelling. Based in Vancouver, Canada, graduated with a Master of Digital Media at the Centre for Digital Media. I'm currently an art director as part of Departure Lounge, which explores Metaverse-related technology, virtual production, and VR/MR content initiatives.

 

​After graduating with a BA (Hons) in Advertising and Design from the University of Sunderland, I spent my career as a 2.5D generalist in ad-land connecting stories and people through strategy, research, and visual design. ​ As a creative, I constantly strive to create and curate for empowerment. My academic background in creative strategy greatly nurtured my desire to craft holistic, immersive experiences, and my interest in emerging areas of design and technology led me to pursue a graduate degree where I can apply my skills as a storyteller outside of traditional media. I’m currently at Departure Lounge Inc. working on art direction, UX/UI, and virtual cinematography for film, music videos and XR projects.

​

A big fan of everything in and out of the Adobe Creative Suite, I am well versed in Figma, Photoshop, Illustrator, and After Effects, to name a few. My experience with designing has also equipped me with a long fuse and troubleshooting prowess.
