A bit about me
If you didn’t catch that the first time, I’m Sum!
Right now, I'm a student at the University of Waterloo studying Communication Design, Business, and Psychology. I love exploring the ways those fields intersect in UI/UX design!
When I'm not designing, you'll find me exploring specialty cafes around the city, reading about psychology and human behavior, or experimenting with new recipes. I'm always curious about what makes people tick and how thoughtful design can make their daily routines a little more enjoyable.

My Design Commitments
These principles guide every project I take on, from the first chat to the final pixel.
Human Centered
All design decision starts with understanding real people and their needs.
Accessible & Inclusive
Beautiful designs should be usable by everyone, regardless of ability.
Collaborative
Designers, developers, and users create the best solutions together.
Thoughtful Innovation
Technology should enhance human connection, not replace it.
