I am a user experience design researcher at Cisco. I have earned my Master’s and Bachelor’s degrees in User Experience Design (HCI) from Purdue University. Over the years, I have accumulated experience in various facets of design, including UX/UI design, academic research on design ethics and dark patterns, and assisting with UX design studios teaching and workshops.
I am deeply intrigued by the intertwined connection between experience design and life, as well as the inseparable relationship between design identity and our individual ways of being. Outside of work, I spend time on personal projects that allow me to explore bridging design knowledge into the context of everyday living. I seek ways to learn from and share the unique problem-solving approaches of designers, utilizing their mindset to navigate through difficult moments across various life stages.

To me, UX design is fundamentally an act of service. It is a great honor for me to have joined the UXPA Boston board, where I can contribute to offering fellow designers in Boston experiences to connect, share, and grow together as a community.
