Hey there! ☺︎ I'm Chenyu Zhang(Dawna), a 2nd-year M.F.A. User Experience Design student @SCAD
Thank you for visiting my personal website. Currently, I am pursuing a Master's in User Experience Design at SCAD (Savannah College of Art and Design). I hold a Bachelor's degree in Visual Communication Design from Nankai University and have two years of experience studying Service Design.
From a young age, I have been passionate about 🎨drawing and exploring new things, which led me to choose Visual Communication Design as my major in university. During my studies, I learned how to communicate effectively through visual means. However, I quickly realized my strong interest in problem-solving and logical thinking, which prompted me to shift towards Service Design. This decision deepened my understanding of design processes and honed my skills in innovative business strategy. Over time, my passion for User Experience Design grew, and today, as a UX Design Master's student, I am refining my technical, 💻programming, and 💡design skills. I am dedicated to identifying users' hidden needs and solving complex design challenges to create enjoyable and efficient user experiences.
I maintain a positive, proactive attitude and approach my learning with a "sponge-like" mindset—constantly absorbing knowledge, growing, and staying humble.
As an ENTJ-A, I am passionate and curious about many things. I enjoy exploring new places, hiking, soaking up nature and sunlight, and connecting with people from diverse backgrounds.
My friends often describe me as a positive and energetic person. Whether collaborating on design projects or facing new challenges,
I thrive in collaborating with cross-functional teams, understanding user needs, and solving design challenges, always striving to create meaningful and user-centered solutions that have a positive impact on the overall experience.

Through the misty rain and blurred lights, I captured the busy yet composed movements of people, depicting a city softly whispering its bustling life in the rain.

I was raised by my grandmother from a young age. She lived a simple life, always kind and resilient, with a character that I deeply admire.
