A little bit about me

I live in San Francisco and am a product enthusiast with a background in interaction design, finance, healthcare, and journalism.

I am a...

Active listener

Active listening guides me to adopt a curious and unjudgemental position that builds shared understanding. I use it in a variety of settings including user interviews, design workshops, and discussions with my team.

Self-starter

I strive to be proactive in the workplace and take initiative to improve my skills at every available opportunity.

Life-long learner

I read on a daily basis, attend various courses, and actively seek opportunities to grow. I enjoy constant growth and improvement by practicing different skills.

Team player

I effectively collaborate and communicate with the team to ensure everyone is working toward the same goal.

Here's my journey map

As you can tell from my journey map, I spent years learning and practicing financial related domains. After graduating from the best financial university in China, I got lucky to work for the world's second-largest corporation, committed to public relations and branding for the healthcare and electric power branches within the corporation. In my spare time, I mostly love reading and painting.

This is where I desired to make a shift to product making space - brings together my experience and passions in business, research, art, and marketing. Then I went to CCA, be surrounded by talented designers, and got inspired by every people I worked with. Also, I led a team that launched three products while studying.

Thanks to my journey in various fields. Learning journalism has taught me how to observe, listen, and find out the problem; learning finance has taught me how to uncover the truth from the data; doing public relations has taught me how to reach out to the stakeholders and empathize with my audience. I believe all of this paves the way to a good product designer - solving problems and making a difference.
