Hi, I’m Candice Hsieh!
I am a learning experience designer with a background in strategic design, educational psychology, and visual communication.
After graduating with honors in Strategic Design and Management from Parsons School of Design, I completed my Master’s in Educational Psychology, specializing in Learning Sciences, at McGill University.
My professional journey began as an educational visual designer, creating playful and imaginative learning materials for young learners. Today, my work has expanded into instructional design, learning experience design, and digital education. I am especially interested in how design, psychology, and technology can come together to create learning experiences that feel more inclusive, human, and meaningful.
I believe design is not only about how something looks, but also how thoughtfully it responds to people’s needs. Through empathy, accessibility, and curiosity, I hope to transform complex ideas into experiences that learners can understand, connect with, and carry forward.
For me, education is a canvas where creativity, psychology, and innovation meet. On this canvas, I turn knowledge into experience and learning into lifelong inspiration.
P.S. I collect sunsets, airports, galleries, and conversations with people who feel like home. <3
