Hi there! I’m Echo, a designer passionate about using design to foster inclusivity and social justice. Through my projects, I aim to demonstrate how design can meet societal needs and empower individuals.
I prioritize empathy and user-centered design, ensuring that users’ voices are heard and represented. I’m excited about developing sustainable solutions that enhance community engagement and create environments where people feel valued and confident.
My approach involves thorough research to understand user needs, collaborating with stakeholders to co-create innovative solutions, and iterating designs based on feedback.
I’d love to connect and discuss my projects further. Feel free to reach out on LinkedIn or Instagram!
