Designing calm
interfaces that breathe.

I'm 徐哲晖 — a product designer turning complexity into clear, human experiences. I obsess over typography, motion and the small moments between clicks.

Projects shaped with care

Four recent product stories — from a quiet focus tool to a design system powering a fintech team of forty. Open a preview to poke at each prototype, or read the case study.

Lumen

A gentle focus timer for deep work. Ambient soundscapes and breathing light replace harsh notifications.

Northstar

A living design system with 120+ tokens and one source of truth, scaling a fintech startup to forty people.

Tidal

Revenue analytics for indie creators — a dashboard that reads like a tide chart, not a spreadsheet.

Mica

A mobile bank for young adults. Cards that visualize spending as tiny colored shards — playful yet legible.

Methodology

A calm, deliberate process

Four movements. Each one narrows the fog until the interface feels inevitable — not imposed.

  1. 01

    Discover

    I start in the fog — interviews, analytics, and a week spent in the product's worst corners. No solutions, only listening.

    Define

    Clusters condense into one problem statement and a system map. We agree on what "calm" means before a single pixel moves.

    Design

    Lo-fi flows, then high-fidelity glass. Every screen ships as a working prototype, tested weekly with real users in the loop.

    Deliver

    Hand-off is a partnership: tokenized design system, motion specs, and a QA pass that treats polish as a feature.

The Studio

A live glass dashboard

A slice of the studio in real time — the clock, live weather, and a slow countdown to the year's wrap. Switch cities, units, or datasets and watch the glass update.
