About me

My name is Wei Zhou, the founder of weidesignoffice.com. I am a User Experience Designer practicing Interaction Design and related disciplines for over 5 years. I am passionate about creating novel,engaging and usable experiences. I had a mixture background in art and computer science, and wish to bring a little bit of romance into the software world.

I have been a witness to several product/application lifecycles; and carry a bagful of experiences with which I intend to offer advice to organizations into understanding the long term advantages of focusing the User Experience of their applications.

I specialize in Interaction Design, User Experience Management, Information Architecture, Visual Design, Design Strategy and Planning and can work in any vertical. I have a very broad experience working with companies such as IBM, Adobe, Microsoft, Mozilla.

Wei design journey is my fantastic playground. I'd like to grow up with you together as well.

Two dreams, one way. 

This is the fifth time I heard about this question: Why do you wanna run your own company, and at the same time working as an art director for another company?Don't you think that's too strange?

I know you'll probably be pissed off by the answer: Because I think everybody should have their own company and at the same time working for another.

And I think everybody will do that in the near future.

Because it fits two dreams of human being: A, create a living world, an empire, being the God in it, and help/control other people. B. Being recognized by others, play team, and follow. These two dreams are not contradicting to each other at all. Just like when you are boating on the lake, you'll love both the beauty of the sky and the water. Or like you can both fall in love with two girls, one wild and spoiled, the other nice and nurturing.

Now you get it.
