Hello again, my name is
Cory Poon
Originally from Arcadia, California, I'm currently majoring in Cognitive Science with a Specialization in Computing, a minor in Digital Humanities, and a minor in Ethnomusicology (this is just a fancy word for "cultural music!") @UCLA—I'll be graduating in December 2025.
​
Don't tell anyone, but my secret ingredient and super power in product design is the side quests that I embark on! These side quests have blessed me with a heightened perspective of the world, which allows me to tackle UI/UX projects with an even greater field of view!
​
Aside from my projects in the UI/UX field, I find myself baking (click the "SEE MORE" button on the bottom to see what I've made!), bullet
This was taken on the way down to the lake-side at Lake Tahoe, California!
journaling, playing video games—my favorite games are Valorant, Teamfight Tactics, and Minecraft—hiking, and playing music. I currently actively play four instruments (I can actually play seven!): the piano for personal fulfillment, the clarinet in UCLA's Game Music Ensemble, the guzheng in UCLA's Chinese Zheng Unison, and the sheng in UCLA's Advanced Chinese Music Ensemble.
​
I'm also a content creator with more than 200,000 followers on TikTok, YouTube, Twitch, and Instagram. I pride myself in the work I've done in the gaming space to make the gaming community safer for marginalized individuals and you'll see me document these moments through vlogs and gaming videos posted to my social media platforms!
