Welcome to
my little world!๐ŸŒŸ

a little more about me...

Hi, my name is Yizhen Guo, but you can call me Elva. Growing up, I was fascinated with dance, how movement and flow expressed meaning. I have found the same flow to be true when combining visual design and creative technology.

As a designer, I love to simplify complex issues finding intuitive, delightful solutions that are inclusive to all types of people. Whether Iโ€™m designing an interface or making a prototype, I use research to ground my concepts and push the craft of interaction and motion to craft a more immersive experience.

Working with a dynamic team, I appreciate diverse ideas, I listen deeply, I keep a mindset of open collaboration. I want to craft experiences that help people reach their goals and provide a smoother, more meaningful flow in their daily lives.
