I Am A

Execution Driver

I turn fuzzy ideas into clear next steps—and get them over the finish line. With a bias for action and a love of structure, I break down complex UX problems into real sprints, real momentum, and real results.  Vision matters. So does getting it done.

Analytical Thinker

My friends laugh at how I can't help analyzing everything – I'm the one pausing mid-conversation to point out a coffee shop's confusing layout. My analytical mind automatically deconstructs problems into component parts, mapping cause-effect relationships others miss. When researching, I build evidence chains that reveal those "aha!" connections, like solving puzzles with pieces scattered across different user stories.

Bridge-builder

I genuinely enjoy being the person who helps different team members understand each other. I get a kick out of translating technical constraints into design opportunities, or helping stakeholders see the human story behind the user data. My friends tease me about how quickly I can shift from "designer speak" to "developer talk" in meetings. But honestly, seeing those moments when everyone finally gets on the same page makes all the effort worthwhile.

What set me apart

I'm a thinker who actually gets things done. While I love diving deep into design philosophy and user psychology, I'm equally passionate about creating practical solutions that ship on time. My notebooks are filled with big ideas AND detailed action plans—because I've learned that the magic happens when thoughtful strategy meets consistent execution.

I like

Long-distance running taught me inner strength and pushing beyond limits, while tennis brought structure during chaotic times.

Together, they shaped my resilience, focus, and emotional rhythm—connecting me with friends who also value self-discovery through physical movement.

My love for tea began with family traditions, but evolved into a personal ritual for sharing, reflection, and cultural connection.

Hosting tea gatherings has helped me create calming spaces where people open up and connect deeply. I now organize tea events to promote this sense of warmth and bridge-building across cultures.

Photography helps me capture fleeting moments and translate life into visual diaries.

Whether documenting cityscapes, events, or meals, I see each shot as a reflection of my emotions and stories. It’s how I slow down, observe deeply, and relive beauty through stillness.
