TRAVELER. FOODIE. CREATOR. DESIGNER. DREAMER. ANIMAL LOVER. ATHLETE. RUNNER. DISNEY NERD. TECHIE. ARTIST. MFFL. DOG MOM.
I'm all of the above, in varying degrees, and so much more. Born and raised in Texas as a first generation Chinese-American. Grew up in a family who valued life experiences in the form of traveling and exploring new places and cultures which shaped who I am today. Between drawing and sports, those were my passions as a child and even now. I still travel the world taking photos and soak up cultures, draw when I can, play recreational sports, and enjoy running locally as well as destination races like runDisney races.
I'm a design leader at Cisco, one of the best companies to work for in the world, who values my strengths and lets me use them everyday.
I'm a believer that design lives everywhere and I've built my career applying user experience design in some of the least expected places. Along the way, I've helped people experience what good design can do, and that it doesn't have to be hard or complicated. Simple changes of the mind and behaviors can improve everything and anything you work on or do.
This is my life. Doing what I love, and doing it often. Life is short...so trying to live my dreams and share my passions.
