I am good at both visual design and UX. This means I am capable of building products that are not just beautiful, but also user-friendly and needle-moving for your business. I am a self-motivated learner. This means I take very little time to ramp up on a new project. I am patient, open-minded and communicative. This means I take feedback well, and I don’t waste time on wrong directions.
I am bilingual. I speak English and Mandarin. If you are building products for Chinese-speaking customers, I am your go-to person.
