About me

From Discovery to Shipping
I shipped my first product in 2020 and have been designing, researching, and prototyping ever since.
I believe this end-to-end approach allows me to deliver a more consistent experience.

Good Designs Tell Stories
Despite my terrible jokes, I understand the importance of engaging storytelling as well as stakeholder communication in driving team success, especially in the field of UX.

Fueled by Americano
I drink iced americano exclusively. My personal record is 5.5 large cups in a day (equivalent to 11 espresso shots).
I routinely drink coffee after 6PM.

HDR
I love exploring the technical side of photography and videography.
I have been exploring how to use HDR(High-dynamic range) technology to create immersive visual experiences.
