About.

Bio

I am a multi-disciplinary designer with 5+ years of experience building and launching digital products, specializing in SaaS products and UI/UX for emerging technologies: Web3, Blockchain, and AI-Powered products. My diverse portfolio also spans on the industry of AR/VR, E-commerce, Education, Finance, and Data analytics, highlighting my adaptability as a design generalist.

In my role as the first design hire and subsequent design lead in various startups, I established the design direction and led teams to build compelling user experiences from the ground up, setting the tone for future design endeavors. As a visionary with lots of ideas, I have a full stack ability to transform concepts into reality. My strength lies in transforming complex concepts into simple resonate designs and offering cross-disciplinary solutions.

A little more about me :)

I started my career in the architecture industry (see my architectural portfolio). In 2016, I volunteered with Perkins Eastman’s innovative lab project Greenline—a plan to convert Broadway into a linear park from 19th Street to 23rd Street—and we presented the plan to the public using VR technology. This experience sparked my shift into product design.

Outside of work, I’m a sci-fi fan who loves hiking, playing video games, and exploring new restaurants. Growing up in a subtropical region in China where it never snowed, I now love living in places with distinct seasons 🌸❄️🍁. I speak Mandarin, English, and Hakka (an endangered language), and during vacations, you’ll find me traveling to try new cuisines, or exploring galleries and museums.
