I am Ethan Cheng, a UC San Diego graduate with a B.S. in Cognitive Science with a focus on Design and Interaction and a minor in Computer Science. I love turning ideas into intuitive digital experiences and collaborating with teammates from design, development, and operations. Through roles in graphic design, embroidery, event support, and mentoring, I’ve built hands-on skills with tools like Figma, Adobe Illustrator, and HTML/CSS, while learning how to coordinate with multiple departments to deliver polished projects. I’m excited to apply UX-minded thinking and front-end basics to real-world challenges and grow as a designer and technologist.
