Fun facts about me

😊 I’m a user experience designer in Silicon Valley. I was born and raised in Shenzhen and moved to California with my family when I was 16 years old.

💡 I’ve been drawing and painting since I was five, and my natural talent in art led me to pursue a career in design. I began my formal graphic design education at a community college while discovering my passion for UX Design through BRIDGEGOOD UX Design Apprenticeship in 2019. Since then, I have shifted my career focus to UX design.

🌴 Previously, I interned at Google, Schoolhouse.world, Common Sense Media, and BridgeGood. You can read about my internship experience at Schoolhouse Blog. I also share my work and experience as an aspiring designer on YouTube. It’s my way of giving back and inspiring others in the creative field.

💻 I designed and developed this website from scratch, which I’m proud of.

🍵 When I’m not designing, you can find me watching Netflix, lifting weights, and looking for design inspirations.
