Erin Ha — About Me

I do UX/UI, graphic design, illustration and photography

I loved designing for others.

During university at OCAD U, I always chose topics in my classes that allowed me to interact with classmates and develop my designs together with them.

I enjoyed creating interactive experiences because they made each design more dynamic, meaningful, and personal from each person’s perspective.

That’s why I fell in love with design.

To me, design isn’t just about personal expression. It’s about creating something that people can experience and put together like a puzzle.

After graduation, I explored the UI world for the first time.

I thought it was amazing that I could prototype and bring app ideas to life through Adobe XD, which led me to continue developing my UI skills independently.

Back then we had Adobe Creative Jam

I started working as a UI Designer at Clearbridge Mobile (Currently Amdocs Studios).

I learned why UX was important. I realized that great design isn’t just about how it looks. Research and the interaction between design and users are important. In the end, UX/UI design had everything I truly enjoyed as a graphic design student.

I love to empathize with users.

I love to take care of users’ needs and solve these puzzles together as a whole team.

Through my experience, I learned to balance user needs with accessibility, edge cases, user expectations, client requirements, and technical feasibility to create experiences that work for everyone.
