Hi there 👋
I’m a UX and Product Designer living in Seattle, WA. I design user experience and digital solutions to human-centric problems. Those solutions include websites, digital applications, services, and interfaces. I work as a product designer @ Microsoft. I also have an HCI master’s degree from the Human-Computer Interaction + Design (MHCI+D) program at the University of Washington.
My passion 🔭
People rely too much on tech today. With all those fancy tech gadgets and digital products out there, it is true that we interact with machines better than ever. But at the same time, we kind of get stuck in our cyberworlds and forget about something far more important: wellbeing and socialization. Technology is not supposed to separate and isolate; it should be about unity, truthful communication, and active human-human interaction. What I wish to accomplish is to encourage human-human interaction and raise awareness of our mental health problems, with the help of design and technology.
When I'm not designing 🏓
I love singing 🎤. When I was at UCLA I was the leader of SouLA A Cappella, the largest student-based a cappella group on campus.
I'm also running a channel on Bilibili (in Mandarin) talking about tips and tricks of UI/UX design 📺. UX design is a popular and crucial field in the digital era, but I feel like not a lot of folks know exactly what UX design is. I want to introduce UX design to more people and make them interested in it. The links are right here if you wanna check them out: Bilibili
I cook good food 👨🍳. My friends would always invite me to cook every time we have a home party. I enjoy cooking because I feel like it's a creative process, and chefs don't wash dishes :)
And now I'm into golf ⛳. Just started playing golf for a year and I'm still loving it. That's a good sign!
