I’m a UX/UI Designer based in the Pacific Northwest who enjoys solving complex, data-heavy problems. I’m drawn to systems with dense information, structured workflows, dashboards, and data visualization. I like taking something that feels overwhelming and shaping it into something clear, intuitive, and usable. Accessibility and inclusivity matter to me, but so does structure and making information actually make sense.

During my time with the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), I worked as a Lead UX/UI Designer through Spatial Front Inc., contributing to large internal systems used by farmers, conservationists, and program staff nationwide. The role required balancing policy constraints, technical requirements, and evolving business rules while designing workflows grounded in how people actually work.

Currently, I serve as the Project Manager and UX Designer for the Seattle Asian American Film Festival (SAAFF), a nonprofit organization, where I am leading a full website rebuild from the ground up as a volunteer. The project blends strategy, stakeholder coordination, content architecture, accessibility, and design, all focused on strengthening community engagement and amplifying Asian American stories.

My background in SEO, SEM, and web analytics continues to shape how I think about discoverability, performance, and long-term growth alongside user experience. Outside of work, you will probably find me with a cup of coffee in hand ☕️. I used to be a barista and still take my coffee seriously. I love traveling and exploring new cultures ✈️, and I still enjoy taking photos for fun (my photography 📷). Creating thoughtful experiences, whether digital or in everyday life, is what motivates me.
