Hi!
My name is Matthew Chen and I’m a second-year student at UCLA studying Cognitive Science (B.S).
I love to design with people in mind first, creating experiences that simplify the complicated and make everyday life feel a little more simple. Whether it’s talking to users, building out a design system, or shaping an identity, I love turning what I learn into something clear, considered, and easy to live with.
