Hello, it is nice to meet you!
A little about me
My name is Eric Luong. I am currently a third year undergraduate at the University of Tennessee Knoxville majoring in Information Sciences with a concentration in User-Experience Design. I am really passionate about using my own creative expression to come up with solutions in product design. I love connecting and learning from people so please do not be afraid to reach out!
My journey
I first entered UTK as a sport management but later switched to UXD about a year in because I wanted to do something different. A lot of the people around me are in computer science so they introduced me to UXD and I instantly fell in love with it. Growing up I always felt assimilated with art and design. I am really into fashion so this felt like a nice way bridge the gap between both sides.
I am currently a designer at Hack4Impact. I am working with non-profits by designing applications and websites to help push their mission for social change.
