About
With a Master's degree in Human Computer Interaction from Carnegie Mellon University and a Bachelor's in Informatics with a specialization in Human Computer Interaction from UC Irvine, I am a seasoned UX designer with a robust portfolio. Currently, I am enhancing predictive risk analysis features at Nihon Kohden Digital Health Solutions and designing AI-driven products at ARM Institute. My experience spans roles such as Design Strategist at Bosch, where I conducted market research and proposed go-to-market strategies, and UX/UI Designer at Commit the Change, UCI, where I led teams in creating high-fidelity prototypes for non-profits. My work is characterized by a strong focus on user research, iterative prototyping, and cross-functional collaboration.
