Samantha Chong-Luke
Hi, I’m Samantha Chong-Luke! I’m a UX/UI designer with 3.5 years’ experience creating accessible, user-friendly designs for government and healthcare. I studied children’s book illustration, inspired by storytellers like Dr. Seuss, and that love for storytelling shapes how I approach design — turning complex challenges into simple, intuitive solutions that really help people. With a background from OCAD University, I bring both creativity and empathy to my work. Outside of design, I love exploring new places, experiencing different cultures, and trying all kinds of cuisine — travel always inspires my creativity and broadens my perspective.
