WHO I am

Designer&researcher

Xingya Xu

Stay peace, keep curiosity.
The world is so vast and life is full of opportunities. I want to go to more places, know more people and  make more creations. In some way, I dream to change the world.
When I was a child, I studied physics, math, chemicals, English, biology very hard to try to figure out what is the world. I won many national prizes, but finally, I found it was impossible to know everything. In university, I learn design and user research, and I found even it's even harder to understand people themselves. After graduated, I became a HCI researcher, tried to make some creation to solve problems in life. I decided to work abroad, not just be a tourist, and believed to understanding the difference in nature, culture, language... will help me understand each other better.
‌I am now working in Japan and learning Japanese hard. It's a beautiful and well-ordered place, and not so hard for me to integrate in. Working in a multi-culture environment is good because people can understand each other well. And the difference can be a very interesting topic to talk on lunch table.
