About | Luna Lu

Hello~ I am Na Lu. 😃

You can also call me Luna because in Chinese my name is Lu-Na (鲁娜).

A fun fact: My dad chose this name for me because girls in my generation of my family needed to have a name related to the moon and my dad knows that in many cultures Lu-Na means the moon.

I am now a Los Angeles-based product designer and illustrator,

who is passionate about creating functional products that solve everyday problems.

# In a nutshell...

I shift into UX design from Marketing and PR because I found myself becoming more passionate about solving problems through visual design.

For over 7 years, I have been working for both tech companies as a product designer and as an account executive and creative manager in marketing agencies. I believe a mindful and detailed design can contribute to effective communication and better user experiences.

I also believe that to be an effective problem solver it is absolutely crucial to comprehend the bigger picture of how a product fits into a company's goals and strategies.

# Why UX design?

UX design, or the user-centered design, can build a bridge between people and technology. I finally found a career that both fulfils my passion and incorporates all my skills.

UX design combines research, psychology, empathy, communication, storytelling, visual design and most importantly -- problem-solving.

All of the things I am so excited about....
