MY JOURNEY

My journey in UX began with a background in Applied Psychology, which sparked my interest in understanding how people think and interact with technology. Since then, I've gained valuable experience working on a variety of projects, from designing features for smartphones at ZTE to overseeing UX enhancements for educational products at ALO7 that impacted millions of users.

Most recently, I completed the Google Data Analytics Professional Certificate at Coursera and the UX Design Career Track Certificate at Springboard, further honing my user research and user experience design skills. I'm a big believer in the power of data and use tools like Figma, Sketch, and R Studio to create compelling designs based on user insights.

WHAT EXCITES ME MOST ABOUT UX?

Forget fancy cars and mansions, what truly excites me is

Unlocking the "aha!" moment in UX design.

Imagine digging into user needs, understanding their struggles, and then crafting something amazing that solves their problems. That's the magic of UX! 

It's all about collaboration, where we bridge the gap between what users need and what businesses want. And seeing the positive impact of a well-designed experience? That's pure satisfaction!

 That's pure satisfaction!

Devouring Diverse Worlds

I love getting lost in a captivating Chinese online novel – the variety of genres, from historical epics to fantastical adventures, keeps my mind buzzing and helps me unwind.

Crafting Creativity

When I need a creative outlet, I get crafty with my kids! Whether it's origami, sculpting with clay, or crocheting something cozy, these activities are a blast and a great way to bond with my little ones.
