While technology began to make a larger impact in society, my hobby of oil painting transitioned into a huge passion for designing on computers. As a result, I have developed an understanding of how to design for users as well as a love for creating experiences that prioritize and inspire them.

I see design as an addictive challenge of creating something that betters an experience and interaction between the users and the product. And I am always itching for more.

Graphic design and illustration are things I enjoy doing to continue strengthening my visual skills. I am currently the events and graphics coordinator for our AAPI community at Zynga and I love the challenge of creating art for a cause I am passionate about.

On the side, I’m also doing some mentoring with ADP list with college students and graduates who are trying to break into the UX industry. I also enjoy snowboarding, reading, taking film photography and learning wheelthrowing!
