I am an empathy-driven product designer with a background in neuroscience and healthcare. I specialize UX/UI design in health tech, AI, and startups, creating intuitive, research-backed experiences. Passionate about femtech and patient-centered design, I solve real problems.
01 Cross-Cultural Perspective 🌎
My perspective has been uniquely shaped by growing up between East Asia and North America. Now based in San Diego, I navigate design challenges through a distinctive lens that bridges cultural perspectives, enabling me to deeply understand diverse user needs and behaviors.
02 Neuroscience Foundation 🧠
My fascination with human behavior led me to a B.A. in Behavioral Neuroscience, where I studied how human brain interacts with the world— which honed my skills in observation and data-driven analysis: foundations that now shape my approach to user research and design.
03 Healthcare Journey 👼🏻
My path to UX design began unexpectedly in healthcare, where I worked directly with patients facing daily challenges. While my empathy connected me deeply to their struggles, I felt constrained by my inability to address the systemic issues that often went overlooked. This frustration sparked my transition into UX design – where I could channel my empathy into creating meaningful solutions.
04 The Design Era 🐥
Today, I've had the privilege of collaborating with 5 startups, crafting user experiences across dynamic spaces covering SaaS, AI, healthcare, creative arts & entertainment, enhancing user experience of innovative fields.
I am also a problem solver for real life pain points. I self directed projects that enhance patient experience of IVF, improve adoption experience of shelter animals, and open a new gateway to self-reflection.
I create and design products for passion. If you are too, reach out and let's create something extraordinary!
