About Me

Hi, I’m Ethan Shek, a third-year New Media Interactive Development student at RIT who is passionate about combining creativity, technology, and storytelling to build interactive experiences that are both fun and meaningful. EVS png

When I am not designing or coding, you can find me at the gym 💪🏻, spending time with friends 🤪, or competing on the 🐯 RIT D1 League of Legends team. I enjoy challenging myself in everything I do because growth comes from exploring new experiences and learning from them.

The Flavor Behind My Creativity

My passion for creativity began in the kitchen. Food has always been a way for me to express myself through endless combinations of flavors. Cooking taught me that creativity is not about following a recipe but about experimenting, adapting, and finding new ways to make something your own.

Food helped shape the person I am today. It gave me confidence, strengthened my ability to communicate, and taught me how to take feedback and turn it into growth. Just like in design, every recipe is a work in progress. Each iteration adds a new flavor, a new insight, and a new way to connect with others.

I carry that same mindset into my UX/UI and front-end work. I do not just follow the recipe, I create my own. I am always exploring new ways to bring creativity into the world of design while blending technical skill with artistic experimentation. Whether I am developing a digital interface or creating a physical prototype, my goal is to design experiences that bring people together in the same way food does.

My Design Taste

I believe that good design, like good food, is about balance, emotion, and experience. It should look great, feel intuitive, and leave people with something memorable. I aim to design interfaces and visuals that don’t just function, they connect.
