About Joey Hua
UX Designer at Manulife
-On indefinite hiatus as of 2023-
UX designer from Toronto.
As a designer, my background has been in non-profit, government and fintech. Prior to becoming a designer, I developed a knack for sales and consulting in various settings, from: clinical/medical, hospitality to digital marketing. My academic background in Sociological research, and an inclination towards the creative heavily contributes to the way in which I work.
My motto is: work reasonably, give back (to the community), pet puppies.
I'm experienced in short & long term mentorship with junior designers. I believe in partnerships where we are embrace self-growth, critique and open discussions. My expertise lies in developing critical thinking skills, empathy and storytelling. If these are aspects that you'd like to improve on and think that we could be a match, send me a message!

Sessions with Joey Hua
- Mentorship Session (30 min): General mentorship
What mentees say
“Joey has mentored me long-term since the end of last year. I found her to be incredibly supportive, especially when I felt lost navigating my self-taught journey. She gave me a lot of practical advice and it was a joy to work with her; and as a result of our mentorship, I was able to land my first role in design! Joey, I am really grateful for the time you invested in me and for the kind words…”
“Joey was really supportive! I felt a little discouraged after my interviews and asked Joey for interview tips and suggestions. I walked through my portfolio with her and she gave me some constructive feedback and shared with me her experience on how she presented her case studies. I would definitely recommend Joey to other designers as a mentor.”
“The session with Joey was really helpful! During the session, she asked what the problem I am facing and she answered the questions step by step. She was briefly presenting the projects she did. Walk me through the important element of UX. It will be useful for me how to showcase my projects in future!! Highly recommended Joey!”
