I'm a UX Designer with the experience helping businesses and non-profit program expand their capacity for impact, making creative content and helping people succeed in digital.
In the midst of living in a world where technology is embedded into every crevice of our lives, I still choose people over machines. And as a person who helps design those machines, my responsibility is still to the person first. I'm passionate about improving the lives of others through design and constantly learning new things everyday.

Once I finished several projects, I started to build my portfolio website. The initial version was not very successful because of the lack of user-centric design and visual elements. I asked help from my designer friend and tried to improve it.
2017, I graduated with a bachelor degree in digital media produciton. I was passionate, creative, skillful, but, equally confused about my life, path and future.
Searching for the pieces of my life's puzzle, I decided to put what I acquired from the college into practice. I started to operate video production in a startup company in New York.
In my graduate program, I absorbed abundant knowledge in emphasizing with users, prototyping to bring ideas to reality, and storytelling to present solutions to stakeholders.
After graduating, I joined Rogers 5G Creative Lab as a contract UX Designer. We were aiming to help Canadians consumers aged 25 - 44 achieve an understanding of the speed and unlimited broadband capabilities of 5G.
