Hi there! 👩🏻‍🎨

I am a Product Designer based in the Bay Area. With 8+ years of experience, I've shipped websites and products across web, mobile (iOS & Android), and macOS.

I was born and raised in Taiwan, educated in the UK, spent some time in Kenya, lived in Los Angeles for years, and now I call the Bay Area home.

Previously at Apple, I'm currently designing Google Maps at Google.

I thrive in a multi-disciplinary and fast-moving environment. My works span from cartography, finance, accounting, media, non-profit, tech, to automotive industries across the globe. My projects have been profiled on BBC, TEDxTaipei, industry magazines and more.

Don't be a stranger. Let’s chat!

I am determined to problem-solving, open-minded to feedback, eager to learn and grow, and always obsessed with design details and new technologies. That’s why I’ve become a tech-savvy and resourceful designer with comprehensive skill sets.

Besides my full-time job, I am also a writer on Prototypr.io and a mentor at ADPList.org and UCLA ONE.
