About

With a Master of Science in User Experience from Arizona State University (2022-2024) and a Bachelor of Fine Art in Motion Pictures and Videos from Kun Shan University (2006-2010), I bring a robust educational background to my role as a UX Researcher and Designer at Extralit. My experience includes leading the redesign and user research for an open-source software project, resulting in a 40% increase in user satisfaction and a 25% reduction in development time for new features. Previously, as a UX Design Intern at Appy.yo, I managed end-to-end user research and developed prototypes that improved user task completion rates by 25%. Additionally, I served as Marketing Director at Lindy Island Swing Dance Studio, where I increased student enrollment by 150% within six months. My diverse skill set in user research, design, and marketing enables me to create user-centric solutions that drive engagement and satisfaction.
