Nice Meeting You!

As a designer, my mission is to understand users and craft intuitive experiences that balance data insights and business goals.

I enjoy exploring problems and brainstorming solutions collaboratively! In a team, I see myself as a facilitator, an active listener and a detail-oriented designer.

What sets me apart is my ability to quickly identify effective design patterns, shaped by my experience designing across various product types, along with solid research skills in usability evaluation and interaction testing particularly.

I collaborated with Chiu on the project of HCM optimization for @Taiwan Life. She's definitely a quick learner with excellent communication skills to capture users' needs, and is proficient at using various tools like @Figma to better let others understand the design/prototype. Thanks to her, the project went on smoothly.
