I'm a Product Designer, Educator, Content Creator, and World Traveler.
Mission Statement
Beneath pixel-perfect screens, behind insightful research questions, beyond efficient systems and structures, lies one, foundational truth:
People matter.
Their identity matters. Their problems matter. Their needs matter. Their situations matter. Their voices matter.
This is why I work, why I research, why I design, and why I create.
Because they matter.

What they say about me….
Randy
Creative Director
Brendan Wu is the person you want on your team when you're aiming to nail that perfect blend of looks and brains in your design projects. He's got this knack for kicking off projects with a bang, guiding them through the messy middle, and wrapping up with designs that make everyone's life easier. Picture him leading workshops like a pro, diving into the nitty-gritty of user research, and whipping up sitemaps and prototypes in Figma like it's no big deal. Plus, he's all about that remote work life—whether it's firing off updates in Loom or keeping the team vibe alive from afar. Working with him? It's a mix of cool innovation and down-to-earth problem-solving, all rolled into one. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Brendan was my teacher at the UX UI Bootcamp 24, and I have to say, he is definitely one of best teachers I've ever had. He always went out of his way to guide his students, gave us extensive feedback and was always there to encourage us to keep learning and get better. He poses immense patience, and is always ready to help his students irrespective of their skills and experience. I am immensely grateful for all the time and effort he's put into teaching us and boosting our confidence and the world definitely needs more teachers like him. This is more of a vote of thanks than a recommendation 🙏 thank you again Brendan!

I wholeheartedly recommend Brendan as a UX/UI Designer. His strong communication skills, particularly in simplifying complex ideas for clients, set him apart. Brendan builds trust effortlessly, ensuring clients feel heard and understood. His presentations are not only visually compelling but also strategically aligned. If you're looking for a designer who combines technical expertise with outstanding client communication, Brendan is the ideal choice.

Brendan is an all-around UX and design powerhouse. His discovery work with clients is thorough and holistic. The workshops he runs are always productive and invigorating: you can feel the energy in both in-person and virtual rooms when he is leading discussion. Clients absolutely love working with him because he delivers with joy, honesty, and clarity.
His designs are slick, stylish, and professional. His ability to listen to ideas and give them a clear visual identity is truly impressive. And he’s an absolute master of Figma. If you've ever wondered how to do *anything* in Figma, Brendan’s got you covered.
