About me

I am a product designer with both in-house and agency experience

If you are reading this, that means the run-of-the-mill “I am...” statement is not enough for you. People try to pack a life’s worth of experience into succinct few liners. But I, like everyone, have a pretty convoluted story to tell. Here it goes...

I was born and raised in Hong Kong, before moving to the US to study business. But I quickly realized I want to have a more direct impact on the people we are selling to. So I left college to explore what I want to do.

For 3 years, I worked in many jobs. But I eventually found design, where I can get my hands dirty on the small details that make life-changing impacts on others.

At the same time, while designing for many clients, I found many problems in our education, finance, healthcare, and government. These systems are impervious to change and entrenched vested interest to keep the status quo.

But I also see design as a catalyst to change. We empathize with people from all sides, show people what a future can look like, and build that future with engineers. So I decided to go back to school not just to hone my design, but to study people and learn to build with technology.

I believe design should be able to effect mankind. It is a humanitarian act. And I am committed to using design to better our fundamental system — education, finance, healthcare, and governance — so that we can live better.

If you are here with a similar focus, I'd love to chat with you. Professionally, you can find me on my LinkedIn, Dribbble, or Email. Outside of work, you can find me doing long bike trips (my longest trip was 9 days), fencing at my local club, or snowboarding down the mountain.

If seeing my work is not your thing, you can also download my resume.
