Designer
Currently based in Taiwan, I specialize in UI and visual design. My background in industrial design led me to pivot towards UI/UX design as I found digital products to be more versatile, diverse, and less restrictive, offering greater creative freedom.
I've come to realize that in our increasingly digitized world, we interact with screens daily. Being able to enhance these experiences to simplify people's lives—whether by reducing usage barriers, solving tech-related frustrations, or improving moods through features—is deeply fulfilling.
I believe my innate attraction to aesthetics and its creative application is partly due to genetics. My passion for perfecting visual details and empathizing with users places me in a unique position as a designer to deliver thoughtful solutions.
The combination of creativity and problem-solving in today's dynamic environment is exciting. Design stands at the forefront of innovation, and my mission is to create impactful design that benefits a multitude of users. If I can positively influence people's lives through design, I'm all for it.
More work... I solve web, graphic, packaging, and industrial design needs for clients, primarily through referrals and friends. After four years as an independent freelancer, I have improved my project management and communication skills. Due to the remote nature of work, being clear and concise when delivering designs is crucial. Often, I have to rapidly adjust to new timelines and specifications to meet client demands, so balancing quality, efficiency, and budget is a regular challenge.
In my free time, I enjoy going to the gym for mental and physical wellness, and on weekends, I like hiking and bouldering to take a break from screens.
