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 diving into brainstorming, it's crucial to understand the user's needs and identify their preferences. Just as carpenters “measure twice and cut once,” designers should take the time to reflect before jumping into screen design. A thoughtful approach to defining requirements ensures that our design decisions are intentional, effective, and truly user-centered.

  • Ideate, Negotiate, Create

    In my experience working with stakeholders, clear communication and a willingness to compromise are key to success. Challenges are inevitable, but staying open to feedback and adaptable in approach fosters stronger collaboration. With persistence, mutual respect, and a bit of trial and error, we can arrive at solutions that work for everyone.

  • Test, test, test

    Ensuring a seamless and comprehensive user experience is always a top priority. That’s why I rigorously test user stories and scenarios—to confirm that flows are intuitive and the application functions as intended. Only once this foundation is solid can we confidently move forward with designing and implementing solutions, whether in v1 or v2, that truly and successfully meet user needs.

With a strong foundation in Human-Computer Interaction, I bring a deep understanding of user behavior, accessibility, and interaction design. I’m committed to creating intuitive, inclusive experiences that bridge technology and human needs, turning complexity into clarity at every step.
