OEPN TO WORK

I design to make things better—by making lots of things. Some good, some not-so-good, all of them opportunities to test, learn, and improve. My process is grounded in curiosity and collaboration: talking to people, learning from them, and translating those insights into products that feel intuitive and valuable.

Does design solve every problem? No. But it makes a difference where it counts. I focus on understanding how people use things, finding ways to make their lives easier, and leaving every product I touch in a better place than I found it—with receipts.

Craft matters to me. So does sitting with product teams to brainstorm, sketch, and untangle the moments when we realize we’re all talking about different things. If that sounds like your kind of collaboration, check out my resume and let’s AI this and that into something great together.

Non-work

Graphic (sample)

Beyond interfaces and interactions, I've been working as a creative freelancer since 2019 with a focus on graphic design (print & digital) and video editing.

My creative freelancing journey began during a break from Cornell in 2019. I subsequently became one of the founding members of a design group with 30k followers on the Chinese social media platform Weibo today, and have worked with over 50 clients across different media.

Filmmaking

Much like UX design, filmmaking is the art of using different tools to weave together a compelling story and create emotional connections with an audience.

In the fall of 2018, I took a Visual Storytelling course and worked on a number of student productions, rotating between different roles and playing with the entire filmmaking process. My favorite production of the semester was Scripted, a short film which I worked on as the director of photography.

When I'm not designing

I make stuff (mostly music, sometimes art), watch tennis, go on spontaneous walks, cook occasionally, and wonder if I need more camera gear.
