About Me
I’m a fourth-year Systems Design Engineering student at the University of Waterloo with a multicultural background that shapes how I analyze and solve problems. Having a technical background has strengthened my ability to approach challenges from multiple angles and think critically about systems. I see design as a discipline rooted in logic and clarity—where intuition is sharpened by users, and every decision has a reason behind it. My goal is to create solutions that are technically sound, intuitive to use, and backed by evidence.
My design philosophy
Bridging technical depth with thoughtful design
With a foundation in Systems Design Engineering and hands-on experience in startups and B2B products, I thrive at the intersection of technical complexity and human-centered design. I constantly work with PMs and engineers to define problems and gain a deep understanding of the product. My process is grounded in a curiosity for how systems work and how technology can be made more intuitive.
Exploring the frontiers of human-computer interaction
My research interests in HCI drive me to investigate how ux design can shape trust, safety, and user experience. I enjoy designing experiments, synthesizing insights, and translating research into practical, intuitive solutions that bridge theory with application.
Designing in dynamic, fast-paced environments
Working in startup contexts has taught me to move quickly without losing sight of craft. I’m experienced in building for complex B2B workflows, balancing user needs with business goals, and documenting decisions so teams can adapt and scale.

Outside of design
In my free time, I love traveling, watching movies with friends, and doing just about anything with music playing in the background. When life gets stressful, I turn to the world of tarot and fortune reading—a hobby I picked up during a particularly confusing period last year. Since then, I’ve dived into books on the subject and continued exploring Chinese Bazi and the philosophy that shapes it.
