About

With a Master of Fine Arts in Interaction & UI/UX Design from the Academy of Art University (2021-2024) and a Bachelor's degree in Fine and Studio Arts from California State University, Long Beach (2017-2021), I have honed my skills in digital and visual design. My professional journey includes roles such as Digital Designer at Blue Corona, where I transformed static designs into interactive Figma prototypes, and UX Designer at Above & Beyond Studios, Inc., where I streamlined the purchase process for B2B and B2C sites. As a Freelance Graphic Designer for the XiCheng Bureau of Statistics, I designed well-received handbook covers. My experience also includes rebranding efforts as a Freelance Graphic Web Designer for RINBOW and creating promotional materials for the Beijing Marathon Organization Committee. My work consistently receives praise for enhancing user experience and aligning with client goals.
