Summary
I find beauty in both print and digital media and they interest me in different ways.I love how print media can surprise me with interesting outcomes from the clever use of materials. That really inspires me to push myself to explore the use of different materials to create works that intrigue viewers.Digital media, on the other hand, encourages interactivity between my work and the viewer. That got me interested in UI/UX design and front-end development and I am currently self-learning UX and front-end development after taking up a course on UI design during my school term!Feel free to visit my Instagram page (@xuerulau) to take a look at my works!https://www.instagram.com/xuerulau/
