Stay hungry, stay grateful.
Gloria Chen
Per aspera ad astra.
I’m outgoing, curious, and adventurous. I studied in United World College Costa Rica, alongside people from all of the world, nurtured my tolerance and broadened my perspective.
I have a keen interest in psychology, anthropology, and gender studies. I co-founded Spectrum Academy, an organization dedicated to supporting minorities and the LGBTQ community.
As a natural problem-solver, I find product design fulfilling—it’s a field where I can engage with diverse individuals, understand their needs, and strive to enhance their lives.

About Me.
I design products & lifestyles. I have passion in human, photography, sports, cooking, dancing and traveling.
I am a designer with a heart for user experience, committed to reimagining everyday tools in ways that uplift, simplify, and enrich the lives of those who use them.
Beyond a designer, I consider myself as the bridge that connects people, people with products and nature. I believe humanity is the greatest variable and treasure. I'm endlessly passionate about delving into life and societal insights, taking action to solve and improve.
While I am not designing, you'll find me walking and observing, training in the gym, in the tennis court, or lying in the sofa reading novels.
The World In My Sight.
