I design interaction, UX, product, and service systems for ambiguous problems that need evidence, structure, and a usable next move. 我为复杂且模糊的问题设计交互、UX、产品与服务系统:先找到证据,再建立结构,最后推进到可用的下一步。

01

Operating Mode工作方式

A compact map of how I move from uncertainty to something teams can discuss, test, and build. 这是我如何从不确定性走向可讨论、可测试、可构建结果的简短地图。

Observe观察

Research Before Form先研究,后成形

I start by separating signal from noise: interviews, context, constraints, stakeholder incentives, and the language people already use.我先把信号和噪音分开:访谈、情境、限制、利益相关方动机,以及人们本来就在用的语言。

Structure组织

Systems That Can Be Used能被使用的系统

The output is rarely just a screen. I map journeys, service logic, brand rules, information architecture, and the handoff layer that makes a direction operational.产出很少只是一个界面。我会梳理旅程、服务逻辑、品牌规则、信息架构,以及让方向能落地的交接层。

Prototype原型

Close To Implementation靠近实现

My prototypes often include motion, interaction states, data shape, and build constraints, so critique happens on behavior rather than static intention.我的原型经常包含动态、交互状态、数据结构和实现限制,让评审围绕行为发生,而不是围绕静态意图。

Align对齐

Clear Enough To Move清楚到可以推进

I am comfortable translating between clients, researchers, engineers, and designers, then turning partial agreement into a practical next step.我习惯在客户、研究者、工程师和设计师之间翻译,再把不完整的共识变成可推进的下一步。
