Sonia Lui

Statement

Hi, my name is Sonia Lui and I have an obsession with problems.
At first, I thought design was only about making beautiful things, aesthetics only. Thankfully, I was wrong and have embraced my deep love for problem solving. I love discovering struggles and painpoints so I can tackle them, creating boundless solutions that work within limited parameters. Problems are never a problem for me. They are an opportunity to make improvements in people’s lives. Again, my name is Sonia and I love solving problems, not making them.
