Hi, I'm Diana Sun!

I'm currently a UX designer simplifying devops workflows at IBM.

Hey there! I'm Diana.

I'm a ux designer at IBM who graduated in 2017 from Carnegie Mellon, where I studied design and human-computer-interaction. For me, design is a tool to make sense of complexities, examine user behaviors and reactions, and create intuitive experiences that integrate naturally in people's lives. I'm intrigued by the formation of preferences and habits, and the process of fulfilling what people desire beyond just the surface. I'm inspired by the works of Sebastian Errazuriz, Norman Bel Geddes, Massimo Vignelli and BRTHR.

Outside of design, I enjoy photography, trying new recipes, petting dogs, eating too many samples at Costco, and finding new adventures. Like a great chef, my specialty is software design, but I'm not afraid to try new recipes! I have coded this website and hope to improve upon it as I learn more html and css. I love to explore new things and try to fill every day with laughter. I believe the best experiences are those shared with others, and I want my designs to impact those special social interactions.
