About Me
I am a UX and product designer who loves shaping experiences that extend beyond the digital screen to the real world. My journey has taken me through Didi, Adobe, AI startups and design agencies, where Iāve explored deep learning AI, mix reality, and autonomous vehicles.
My work is a blend of engineeringās precision and the nuances of human emotion, aiming to make technology not only works well, but also feels right. I specialize in user experience design, user research, and creative problem solving. Iāve also made solid progress in front-end technologies and generative AI image workflows.
Outside of work, you'll find me on an endless quest to soak up new knowledge. I am strong in logical reasoning. I like geeking out over the latest computer science breakthrough or decoding the why behind human behavior driven by curiosity. I also find joy in spending time with animals and somehow have a knack for training my friends' dogs and catsāperhaps they sense a kindred spirit.
