Its Me!!

Hi, my name is Lawrence Ngo. I'm a graduate of University of California - San Diego with a degree in Cognitive Science, specialized in Human-Computer Interaction.
‍
With this degree, I am pursuing a UX/UI Design career because I enjoy the creation and problem solving that's associated with the design process and its challenges. I also enjoy the aspect of improving life in some way, shape, or form. In this case, by making products and/or services easier to digest and understand.

I enjoy playing video games, watching movies and shows (especially anime), creating digital art, playing table tennis, frisbee, rock climbing, and just spending time with friends and family.
