As a seasoned product design leader, I focus on digital product discovery and definition, user research, information architecture, interaction design and design system for complex web applications, content-heavy sites, and mobile apps. I'm interested in scaling the impact of product design teams by building design systems and implementing ResearchOps. Besides UX, I also spend time on developing methodologies for collaborating, problem solving, and planning with cross-functional teams. Since 2011, I’ve worked with clients in healthcare, education, utilities, government agencies and non-profit organizations.

I gravitate towards design challenges that help enhance human capability, self expression and build meaningful connections.

​

I received M.A. in Human Factors and Applied Cognition from George Mason University in 2014. I hold another M.A. in Communications from Peking University, China.

My academic background and wide interests in various disciplines in social sciences, humanities and behavioral sciences and experiences living in different cultures gave me different perspectives in understanding the world and the ability to empathize with people.
