About me

I have a slight obsession with understanding human behavior.

During my formative years, I was immersed in 3 different cultures — Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Canada. This spawned my fascination with how the environment influences our behaviors and thinking processes, so I decided to pursue a specialist degree in Psychology at the University of Toronto.

I loved psychology so much that I became involved in the student union! As President, I managed a lovely executive team of 13 to serve 12,000 psychology undergraduates.

I started asking "why" and "how".

While studying social and cognitive aspects of human psychology, I followed my budding, inquisitive mind to be a research assistant at the Mind and Body Lab.

Under Dr. Spike Lee’s (no, not the director) tutelage, I learned how to conduct good scientific research.

I craved a creative outlet for my research knowledge.

I was eager to learn more about the tech world.

I became a tech recruiter, where I worked with small to large startups in the US and Canada. I used my understanding of candidate and client motivations to scale engineering and product teams. I gained business knowledge about tech orgs, which solidified my interest in roles that involve product decisions (aka a Product Designer).

Now, onto more UX!

After some work experience in the tech industry, I decided to make the full jump to UX.

I enrolled in a full-time program at BrainStation to continue my learning. Here, my passion for creating human-centered designs grew to address the complexities of human behaviors.

Today, I'm excited to continue using my psychology knowledge, research background, and industry experience to explore the growing field of UX. Much to see and much to learn!
