Background

The daughter of a Taiwanese doctor, I spent much of my childhood in his clinic, growing up alongside his patients and nurse staff, surrounded by people in need, and those who had dedicated their lives to helping them.

As I grew older, I was given the chance to assist the staff with small day to day tasks, interacting with the patients and in doing so, nurturing a deep-rooted understanding of the relationship between a patient and their caretaker. Since those days, the idea of being able to use my talents in the service of something good was something I kept very close to my heart.

Values

Do the right thing.

In 2015, I was at a turning point in my career where I realized where my interests truly lie: designing innovative products and services that are meaningful and bring positive impact to our society.

The force that drives my design is the desire to learn and grow from a multitude of experiences. As a designer, I am determined to solve unique and real problems through quality strategy, design, and development.

Do things right.

I believe good design is good business, and good design is only achieved through a good process.

I am passionate about delivering thoughtful design solutions by practicing “design through discovery.” I always start a project by talking to and listening to users, learning about their stories and hearing their solutions to overcome the problems we aim to solve. I believe the most effective products can only be designed by identifying the right problems, as well as understanding users’ motivations and decision-making processes to help them achieve their goals.

For fun

In my free time, I enjoy making jewelry and gardening. I’m also working on a few personal projects to continue sharpening my illustration skills.
