My Background
Grew up in Shanghai and made in Brooklyn. My path into design wasn't linear, I studied Integrated Design & Media at NYU, and almost chose data science instead. That decision never really left. It became the foundation of how I think.
I approach design like an experiment. Every interaction is a hypothesis, every iteration is a test. I care less about how something looks in isolation, and more about what it actually does, how it influences behavior, drives engagement, and changes outcomes.

What I Bring
I build, not just design
I design and build products end to end, working across design and code to turn ideas into real, functional systems.
Clarity from messy problems
I'm comfortable starting with ambiguity and turning real world complexity into clear, actionable product directions.
AI-native product thinking
I design with AI as part of the system, shaping prompts, outputs, and user flows together.
End-to-end ownership
From user research to design to build and iteration, I stay with the problem until it works.
Outcome-driven mindset
I design for outcomes, using data to connect product decisions with user behavior, growth, and real impact.
