Hello,
I'm Maxwell.

I’m an Asian-American designer and recent graduate in industrial design that has worked in a human-centered design center, a revolutionary STEM initiative, and a student-led design organization. My current projects are leading and managing design projects for clients at Illinois Design Consulting.

From a young age, I've always valued and sought creative expression. At university, I studied industrial design to use that appreciation of creativity for applied problem solving. Throughout my journey, I've been fascinated with parallel disciplines like UI/UX and have worked to implement them into a creative and multi-faceted design practice. I see design as a way of understanding and collaborating with people from all backgrounds and perspectives to solve real-world problems.

I'm always looking to make new friends and form collaborations. You can reach out to me at maxwell.chan.id@gmail.com.
