Food is my love language. Growing up as a first-generation, Chinese-American, restaurant kid, I learned that food isn't just about flavor, it's a philosophy of life where people connect and learn about one of the foundations of culture. That early exposure to hospitality taught me how meaningful experiences are built through empathy and care.

Professionally, I'm driven by that same belief. At the intersection of human behavior, empathy, and technology, thoughtful alignment brings them together to make authentic experiences. With a background in UX research and design, my approach remains centered on curiosity, emotional intelligence, and the people behind the data.

The most impactful ideas come from understanding humanity. Whether through a story, a product, or a brand, inclusive collaboration is key in creating timeless work.
