A designer, a mom, a teaist, a Taiwanese far from home.
My career started in graphic design and new media, working across film, print, digital, and physical interaction. Brand films, exhibition visuals, interactive installations, interfaces for credit cards and home appliances—different surfaces, but always the same instinct: make the invisible visible. In 2018, I moved to New York for an MFA in Interaction Design at SVA, and finance found me right after.
The years since have narrowed into digital products, mostly 0→1 work in fast-moving teams—early-stage startups, or scrappy teams inside larger companies like Capital Connect and now JPMorgan's alternative investments. I work best in ambiguity, when the brief isn't fully formed yet and there's a problem to shape, not just a screen to design. Finance is where I've gone deepest, but the energy I look for is the same wherever I work: small teams, real constraints, and figuring something out from scratch.
Outside of work, I'm deep in the most humbling design project of my life: raising a two-year-old who has just found her voice and uses it freely. No user research prepares you for someone who tells you exactly what she wants, changes her mind mid-interaction, and somehow makes every iteration worth it.
