Hello there, I'm a current graduate student in the MHCI + D program at the University of Washington.
Before UW, I have 5+ years of industry experience in top-tier architecture and urban design firms and worked on 10+ complex global construction projects crossing healthcare, high education, and labs. These experiences spark me to combine aesthetic language and creative solutions for complex design challenges under business and technical constrains.
Intrigued by complex systems, I have a heart for hard questions. After spending years on solving problems around people, space, and tectonic, now I'm excited to bring my design thinking and my aesthetics into the area of people, media, and technology. Although context changed, my passion for distilling simple solutions through complexity and ambiguity is always the same.
Either cities or buildings are massive, interconnected, complicated systems. My background in architecture and urban planning makes me to understand multifaceted problems from different hierarchy and to identify root cause while holding a comprehensive view.
Having spending the majority of my past decade learning and working in design, I developed an eye for design and a broad range of skillsets in the industry. From 2D drawing to 3D hand crafts, I can quickly prototype and execute concepts with strong design sensibilities. I care about details and I'm motivated to keep pushing my work until it is pixel-perfect.
In my past experience, I've closely worked with multiple stakeholders including clients, constructor, structure engineer, mech engineer, elect engineer and digital consultancy. I learned how to balancing stakeholder needs and work together to approach design solutions that incorporate ideas in business, design, and technology.
