Warm welcome!

Origin story of mine 💐

Growing up in a family influenced by medicine, I was always guided by the idea of serving others. This desire led me down various paths: studying cognitive science taught me how humans think and behave; and serving as a peer therapist gave me a shot at reality as my clients' experience were all nuanced and complex.


Now, I take learnings to product design where I am always humbly reminded to consider context — what the problem is building on, and constricts — what we can realistically accomplish.

Problem solve through design 🤓

My past experiences shaped me in so many ways. Now, I am well trained to think logically, seek resource to validate whenever possible, actively listen, and be extremely open to adapt to the unpredictable changing context of both users and businesses. To me, product design, like a heart-felt and productive therapy session, is about breaking down struggles that seem surface-level and getting to the root cause 🎯 — only in this case, it’s about solving people’s problems at scale.
