    About Rosalyn

    It’s a complex world out there. I enjoy dismantling it and translating the chaos into beautifully designed stories with users in mind.

    When not designing, I enjoy searching for information through scavenger hunts. I’m a big fan of the Amazing Race, Great Urban Race, and Urban Assault Ride. It’s a sense of accomplishment of working together to solve clues and discovering hidden gems in the city.

    Another hobby of mine is sketch notes. It makes learning a lot easier to grasp. I’m still new to sketch notes, but I find it helpful to see things as a whole picture and how things interrelate. For the first time, I can actually get away with doodling during a lecture. This strategy is useful especially when brainstorming ideas and prototyping.
