About Me
Born & Raised
Originally from Hong Kong, I came to the United States in 2013 to pursue my childhood dream of being a designer and an artist.
Education
I graduated with double Bachelor of Arts degrees in Visual Design and Art Studio with honors at the University of California, Davis.
I found myself deeply attracted to the scenes behind the design, which led me to the path for UI/UX Design. I earned my Master of Science degree with distinction in Human-Computer Interaction at the DePaul University.
Currently, I am in the process of pursuing a Doctoral Business Administration Degree, concentration in Business Intelligence & Data Analytics (BIDA) at Westcliff University.
Professional Accomplishments
My first leadership journey started from being one of 16 directors, Graphic Director, in a student organization to host an open-house event Picnic Day at UCDavis.
My entrepreneurial journey began in the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic when I found myself without traditional employment. With my design experience in advertising, marketing, branding, graphics, UI/UX design, and product development, I successfully collaborated with more than 50 clients on over 100 projects in different industries.
Over the past 10 years, I have consistently evolved from a Graphic Designer to an Experience Designer, entrepreneurship mindset ultimately lead me to my current role as who I am.

Cuddle with Caramel
In 2016, I adopted Caramel from an animal shelter when he was just 8 weeks old, small enough to fit in the palm of my hand. I was the fortunate first human to meet with him, and our bond grew strong since then. He has been my loyal companion, accompanying me on my life journey and travels.
