As a designer who ships, I operate across the entire product lifecycle – from user research and interaction design to Al-assisted full-stack development (I am non-technical), App Store optimisation and growth. In the last year, alongside cross-functional teams, I've driven design and front-end development for two web apps and three mobile apps. Late last year, I also independently designed, developed and distributed a native iOS app in Swift, which began as a side project that I built in public, and now work on full time.

My design and larger product instincts are grounded in my multidisciplinary humanities background. Anthropology, political science (BA, Colorado College) and history (Masters, University of Cambridge) taught me to analyse human behaviour, synthesise fragmented qualitative and quantitative data, and build coherent narratives from a messy sequence of events. Today, I apply that same rigor to product design: making sense of complex user needs and translating them into clear, intuitive products. Fluent in English and Mandarin Chinese, I also bring a global perspective to my work, shaped by international exposure in the US, UK, China, Taiwan and Singapore.
