Hello, I'm Julie Sun.

I'm a Chinese ๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ณ born Canadian ๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ฆ Currently settled in London, UK. My family consists of my German partner and his two sons who are lovely older brothers to our 4-year-old son.

I'm a designer with 14+ years of experience employing design thinking into building digital products and services that are fit for purpose. I'm versed in user experience, service design, user research, storytelling, and UI design. A lot of my work involves distilling complexity and bringing clarity and focus to projects. I'm a big advocate for Equity Diversity and Inclusion (ED&I), user-centred design, and holistic approach to problem solving. I've a big believer of the power of words and that outcomes trump outputs always.

When Iโ€™m not working, Iโ€™m enjoy quality time with my son, family outings, Tennis, Zumba, walks and hikes, try new foods, and listen to podcasts like 99% invisible; A bit of optimism; Hidden Brain, Ted radio hour, Radiolab, The Knowledge Project, Worklife with Adam Grant while doing the never ending chores at home. My favourite newsletter is Dense Discovery by Kai. I love the curation of reads and thoughtful reflections on community, technology, and humanity.

Fun-ish fact(s): I was once (very briefly) a qualified Zumba dance instructor. I also currently hold a 2800+ day Duolingo streak learning German, Spanish and polishing up on my Japanese.

I use design thinking to solve problems and build products and services people actually want to use.
