About me

How it all began

I've always been drawn to colors, shapes, and textures. In 3rd grade, I had an impressive collection of Jelly-Roll pens, and even then, I felt a strong desire to make anything I created look better with those pens. Looking back, I cringe at my desire to be moved to a "serious" art table in 5th grade.

my passion for

art has stayed

I am a skilled product and UX designer based in Seattle, WA. I am passionate about delivering exceptional products and do not rely solely on my beloved pens. My design philosophy is centered around empathetic design and prioritizing the customer's perspective. I strongly believe that user-centered design is the key to a product's success and brings immense joy to its users. If you're intrigued by my expertise in UX laws and principles, the psychology of human-computer interaction, or would like a design critique, please do not hesitate to reach out to me. I would be thrilled to connect with you.

My Process

  • Empathize and Strategize

    Before we delve into the brainstorming phase, we must comprehend the user's requirements and ascertain their preferences. Similar to how carpenters "measure twice and cut once," as designers, we should adopt the same approach. Before designing screens, we need to contemplate our needs and requirements.

  • Ideate, Negotiate, Create

    In my experience working with stakeholders, I've found that communication and compromise are essential. While things can get challenging, staying open to feedback and willing to adjust can make all the difference. With some trial and error, but with persistence and collaboration, it can be great.

  • Test, test, test

    Ensuring a seamless user experience is paramount. It’s why I make sure to test the user stories and scenarios. It's essential to ensure that the flows make sense and that the app functions smoothly. After, we can confidently move on with implementing a great design (either in v1 or v2) that will meet the needs of the users.
