Before I knew what design was, I was already designing.
From re-skinning Windows XP to customizing MySpace layouts, I was unknowingly teaching myself UI and web design before I even had the words for it. I just knew things could look—and work—better. Then came Objectified, the documentary that cracked open a world I never knew existed. Industrial design, human factors, digital interfaces—it all became an obsession.

That obsession led me from physical products to software, from a design agency in China to start-ups in the Bay to tackling UX challenges for companies like Google, Bloomberg, Shopify, and Cisco.

Now, I focus on making complex tools more intuitive, efficient, and more enjoyable to use designing for industries like healthcare, cybersecurity, AI, and data management—where good UX isn’t just nice to have, it’s critical.Beyond work, I’m pushing for inclusive, accessible design and mentoring the next generation of designers.
