About Ivanna Gong
I’m a UX designer and researcher with a background in education. With my 9 years of teaching experience, I have always been passionate about understanding the needs of others and crafting meaningful learning experiences. My journey in the classroom has honed my ability to empathize, communicate, and problem-solve. I am committed to creating intuitive, user-centered designs that empower and inspire, just as I have done for my students. I am excited to blend my background in education with the principles of UX to shape experiences that are both impactful and engaging.
