My Strengths as a Designer
Sole Designer Leading the Whole Process
I have multiple experiences as a sole designer, leading entire workflows from product strategy to execution. I independently created design systems, interfaces, and user flows while adapting to diverse environments and resources.
Complex Problem-Solving with Human-Centered Approach
I excel at navigating complex design challenges by combining systems thinking with psychological expertise. I can understand the deeper "why" behind user behavior while managing technical constraints.
Multidisciplinary Academic and Industry Background
I have a multidisciplinary background with a research psychology degree, a CS minor, and a design degree, along with experience working as a user researcher and a product manager, bringing a well-rounded skill set that bridges design, research, and technology.
Design for Multiple Devices
I designed across multiple platforms, including responsive web, native apps, dashboards, VR platforms, and in-vehicle HMI interfaces
