SWU Who?
I am an Asian Canadian UX Product Designer, Ethical Design & Business Consultant. I'm an experienced generalist with data-driven research, design, and front-end toolbelt to match form and function. I fell into the UX field when I was at Vancouver's technical school. I unknowingly absorbed UX goodness while I was educating students on how to code websites.
I am looking for new opportunities to collaborate in a team setting and contribute to meaningful projects. Currently on a design consulting journey to learn the creative business and grow leadership.
I enjoy designing for customer experience, ethics, social impact, and problem spaces. I am curious about Blockchain/AI tech.
Activities I enjoy away from the computer are baking, reading, jogging, hiking, travelling to absorb culture and facts.
