Resume

A window into my world! Taken in my father's hometown of Chiayi, Taiwan: a small southern city known for its signature turkey rice 😉

Welcome! Nice to meet you 🦋

Born and raised near Seattle, I’m now studying Human-Centered Design and Anthropology at Dartmouth College. I was drawn to product design for its collaborative, user-centric approach to tackling complex problems. I have nurtured this interest at DALI Lab and most recently as a UX Operations intern at Deltek, where I streamlined UX team workflows and simplified resource access.

During my fall 2024 gap quarter I volunteered at a Buddhist monastery in Taiwan, where I cultivated my intentionality, optimism and balance—qualities I dedicate to my product work. Before graduating in fall 2025, I'm seeking a summer opportunity to create user-focused solutions that inspire clarity, delight and purpose for our world.

My Design Philosophy

🤝 Bridge accessibility with impact. I strive to design accessible solutions that align with user priorities while driving meaningful business outcomes.

✨ Encourage to inspire. I value and affirm the ideas and experiences of others, promoting active listening and constructive design feedback.

💡Embrace iteration. The more the merrier! I continuously improve my designs with insights from focused critiques and user testing.

Check out some fun things I explore outside of my projects!

Music.

Whether I’m jamming on guitar or fiddle, singing my heart out at karaoke or with aux on road trips, or crafting raw ideas and tracks into original songs, music is my favorite creative outlet! It doesn't matter if I'm collaborating or on my own, playing a classic tune or writing something totally new—I just love how music helps me connect deeply with others and myself. My enthusiasm for music has taught me how to listen closely, think outside the box, and bring people together - takeaways that sharpen my approach to iterative design.

Running.

Running is essential to my well-being, bringing peace and structure to my life. With solo runs, I unwind and connect with my surroundings. Running for causes I care about gives each mile purpose. Along the way, I’ve found friendships that helped me embrace incremental growth and self-care in every respect. Laughing through silly post-run stretches, marveling at breathtaking trail views, and grabbing coffee after sunrise runs are some of my most cherished memories. As a runner I strive for consistency and pace myself through challenges while uplifting my team, habits I also embody in my design process.

Food.

I have an insatiable appetite for trying out new recipes and restaurants. Discovering hidden gems from a noodle shop or café in town is as gratifying as recreating these flavors in the kitchen. Street food holds an extra-special place in my heart: for the dishes and the chance to learn more about the cultural settings they come from. I bring this curiosity and appreciation for context to my user experience research. Just as I dive deep into understanding the origins of a dish, I focus on uncovering user needs and the environments they navigate—crafting solutions as thoughtful and fulfilling as a hearty meal cooked from scratch.

Thanks for visiting my portfolio :)
