My Journey

From my roots in mountainous Guizhou to my journey through Pennsylvania, Seattle, and now Ann Arbor, my path led me to UX design—where I blend technology, cultural understanding, and creativity. With 3+ years of experience, I've grown from design intern to UX Design Lead, crafting educational experiences at iFlytek before completing my M.S. in Information (HCI) at the University of Michigan in 2024.

Beyond Design

When not designing, I'm strategizing at Magic: The Gathering tables, exploring worlds through video games, or enjoying board game nights with friends. I'm drawn to films of all genres and constantly seek to understand the world through different perspectives—whether via documentaries, podcasts, or conversations. These diverse interests bring fresh inspiration to my design approach.
