About Me

Proactive Collaboration & Open Communication 

I like to collaborate with people and dedicate to foster a work environment of inclusivity, empathy, and openness, believing that brings out the best in all of us.

I also consider good UX is to create exceptional UX for my teammates, stakeholders, and clients. Therefore, I greatly value open communications and devote myself to identifying the business and technical needs at the same level as users’ needs. One of these amazing satisfactions I gain is the connections forged with my teammates and stakeholders during our collaboration, in which we build impactful products, and share mindfulness together.
