Discover my story, experiences, and the path that shaped me as a designer.

How did I get into UX?

Before I got into the UX field, I majored in communication and media for my undergrad. At that time, I was so lucky to take a product innovation class, from which I found it for the first time I could get insights from the interviews and surveys and make it into solutions.

This sparked my interest and led me to pursue HCI at the University of Michigan. From there, I deepened my skills through projects and internships, shaping my career in UX design.

When I design things…

I’ve always been drawn to the exploration stage of design—the excitement of brainstorming and coming up with different ideas energizes me. But what I love even more is taking those ideas and grounding them in a hypothesis-driven process. It’s not just about creativity for its own sake; I prefer when the team has clear goals and we’re all learning together by testing and validating our assumptions.
