Beautiful things are rooted in the stories.
‘This is our interpretation of your life.'
Fill in the gaps and piece up the puzzle.
The role of products is similar to minor happiness—its impact may be undetectable, but it’s critical in creating an integral life blueprint. My previous experiences have shaped my habit of considering the ‘educational impact’ of the products: what will users learn from these interactions? Are we helping them become better people?
In other words, the more I’m exposed to the field of human-computer interaction, the more I realize the values of human-human interaction.
Who am I?
That’s not an easy question, honestly. I’m on a lifelong journey of exploring my inner self, which is also subtly changing all the time, so I can only share with you the most recent answers.
I’m an introvert. I need focused time to be with myself in order to recharge the energy. I’m not skilled in dealing with social events nor am I comfortable enough to brag about what I possess. But I’m not an extreme introvert either. I like spending time with people I love and am interested in. I like talking to strangers as long as I feel safe. I’m a humble person who values hard work. I care for others’ feelings, especially subtle ones.
I’m a slow thinker. It often takes me a while to interpret my surrounding situation because there are layers of ‘processors’ in my head, which force me to organize things in a logical and higher-level way, and also to evaluate whether my thoughts are rational enough. This relatively long chain of reactions in my (secret little) head is the chief reason why I seem relatively quiet in the discussions. But a slow thinker is not a slothful thinker. In fact, I desire thoughts of high quality as avidly as others and I’m capable of generating insightful ideas after considerate thinking.
I’m highly empathetic and sensitive in nature. I can cry really hard when reading a distant tragedy on the phone screen, and I can write songs for someone else’s stories. This character is the foundation for my wanting to be a user researcher, but I also remind myself all the time not to let my emotional responses take control. My ideal identity as a researcher is to be an advocate for evidence while maintaining some degree of acute intuition.
Final thoughts…
Appreciating the diverse styles of houses by the road has become one of my favorite activities since I came to this foreign country. As I’m feeling amazed by the creative architectural design, I can’t help imagining the people who live in these houses. Is their lifestyle consistent with the architectural style? What journey have they been through before settling down in this area?
What you’re reading now is the house I built for you as well as myself. It’s a small wonderland witnessing my past and future growth in the field of UX research—or perhaps some other forms of exploration of human beings. If you happen to be curious about the girl who lives here (since you’ve seen her dozing by the window), don’t hesitate to knock on the door.
