Oh hi there! I'm Addy!

Given that you're here, I hope that my work has been interesting enough that you want to know a bit about me.

I'm an American-born Chinese from the San Gabriel Valley. Growing up, I was full of energy and needed different outlets for my imagination. Early, unfettered access to the internet channeled my passion towards emerging technology and allowed me to bounce around diverse topics.

Today as an Interaction Designer, that same energy and wide range of interests helps me navigate complex systems. I use systematic thinking and empathy to understand users and ecosystems. I parse data, map my understanding, form design strategies and prototype ideas. Using visuals and storytelling to effectively communicate findings to stakeholders, I’m able to advocate for users and push for project decisions. Through this design process, I want to be a part of the future to expand perceptions and create a positive impact in people’s lives.
