About Me
Designing with empathy, structure, and storytelling.
I’m Zelong (Angelo) Jin, currently studying UI/UX design, with a background in
animation, 3D modeling, and digital technology.
I’m pursuing a Master’s degree in User Experience at Arizona State University,
while working at HeyGears, a 3D printing technology company.
My work focuses on creating intuitive, human-centered digital experiences
that connect creativity with structure and innovation.
Design Philosophy
For me, design is more than visual problem-solving. It’s about understanding how people think, what they need, and how to create solutions that feel effortless.
I believe great design bridges creativity and logic—blending artistry with function to tell meaningful stories.
Whether I’m designing a magazine layout, a web interface, or a digital product, I focus on clarity, rhythm, and emotional connection.
Background
Beyond Design
Before focusing on UX design, I worked as a Multimedia Designer at SOLTECH LLC and as an HR professional at HeyGears, a 3D printing technology company.
At SOLTECH, I managed and updated corporate website content, optimized visual structure, and created promotional materials to support user engagement and brand consistency.
Working across marketing and development teams helped me better understand how visual design, usability, and communication intersect in real-world contexts.
At HeyGears, I collaborated with cross-functional teams including designers, engineers, and management to support internal processes and digital communication.
These experiences shaped my user-centered mindset—combining empathy, structure, and clarity—which now guides my approach to UI/UX and product design.
When I’m not designing, you’ll probably find me exploring typography, photography, or experimenting with new UI trends.
I’m inspired by the intersection of art and technology—how design can make digital spaces feel more human.
I’m constantly learning, experimenting, and growing as a designer.
My goal is simple: to design experiences that help people feel connected— to ideas, to products, and to each other.
