Aloha, thanks for being here!
I'm passionate about understanding the people, environments and culture I'm designing for. I enjoy connecting dots and stories to create a kinder, smarter and more optimistic future.
It is important to me that I continue to reflect, learn and evolve. I seek brave teams where we can together bring innovations and meaningful impact on people’s lives, society and the future, near and far.
MY TECH STACK
My designer journey from spaces to screens, along with some special moments.
The third try’s a charm
When I was 18, I flew solo to Canada from China to pursue undergraduate education with only two giant suitcases. I never thought in my wildest dream that graduating from design school would be a “third try’s a charm”.
After resiliently trying for three years and two unfinished schools, I finally sought my true passion - design.
Bridging two worlds.
From designing for spaces to screens, I found an intriguing parallel between not only the creative and problem-solving process but also the designer's mindset.
The core engine remains the same which is to focus on the users, their painpoints and empathy - for the users and our own team members.
Leap, leap again.
The transformative power of design, particularly its ability to make a profound impact on so many people's lives, has always captivated me. It's the dynamic synergy between design and technology that fuels my fascination, curiosity and pushes me to leap into the realm of digital product design.
Just like how I leaped when I was 18, for my true passion.
In my spare time, I enjoy music, movies, deep conversations, exercising with Pamela Reif and hopefully more travelling.

A Special Story
In the summer of 2013, I finally had the opportunity to be a volunteer teacher in an undeveloped rural area in China, where there was no electricity and extremely limited resources. The one month we stayed there completely changed my life.
My students who had one Yuan(¥) allowance per day and had to walk one hour per trip on their feet to school every day, had taught me way more about life than what I could ever offer them.
One of them managed to stay in touch with me since. With my consistent virtual encouragement for almost a decade, he became the first proud college grad from his village.
I can proudly share with you with my confidence that I have changed ONE person’s life for the good!
