Bio

I’m a multidisciplinary designer working across brand, visual communication, product, and experience design. I enjoy transforming complex ideas into thoughtful experiences by connecting research, strategy, storytelling.

Having studied and worked across Taiwan, the United States, and Japan, I’ve developed a cross-cultural perspective that shapes my approach to design. I believe great design goes beyond aesthetics—it connects brands, products, and user experiences to create thoughtful and consistent experiences across every touchpoint.

Currently based in Tokyo, I work as a Product Designer, collaborating with cross-functional teams and manufacturing partners across Japan, China, and Taiwan to bring ideas from concept to production. I also contribute to internationally licensed IP projects, translating brand stories into tangible product experiences. In addition, I completed an urban design proposal for the Tsu Station Plaza in just one week, presenting it to the city mayor. The proposal was later featured by NHK, reinforcing my belief that design can connect people, culture, and cities.

Previously, I worked at design agencies in both the United States and Japan, contributing to branding and visual communication projects. I also used motion graphics to help communicate ideas and strengthen design presentations. During my studies in Systems Design Thinking at the College for Creative Studies (CCS), I built a strong foundation in design research, learning how to uncover meaningful user insights through co-creation and user-centered research, and communicate complex information through clear and engaging visual storytelling.

I’m comfortable collaborating in Japanese, have completed the JLPT N1 examination (currently awaiting the results), and am eligible to work in Japan long-term.

I’m looking for opportunities in brand, communication, and experience design, where I can connect research, strategy, and storytelling to create thoughtful experiences that bring brands, people, and culture closer together.
