I'm a UX designer.I love to work with constraints and complexity, striving to create elegant design that truly help people in our daily life. I got my Master's degree in the Human Computer Interaction + Design program in University of Washington. Always up for a coffee chat. 

Trained as an industrial designer, and with a bachelor’s degree in engineering, I have a deep understanding of physical objects, and I'm passionate about making things with my hands. I also find it inspiring to truly understand the emotional needs of people, and response with thoughtful design.
