I design things ☺

What I do ➤

I’m a product designer focused on solving complex problems creatively — driving solutions from ideation to research, to prototyping and production.

My mission is to craft solutions and strategies that balance business goals and user needs, with a keen eye for design details that elevate the user experience.

My Journey ✎

2021 - present ➤

Yelp / Senior Product Designer

I lead the design of the brand-new mobile app homepage experience for both iOS and Android. I focus on building a new homepage feed that empowers users to discover great local businesses through user recommendations.

I’ve created a robust UI framework to accommodate diverse content types, including user-generated content, Yelp-curated content, and ad systems. I oversee the work of multiple designers contributing to expanding content variety, ensuring design consistency and maintaining high-quality outcomes.

I also co-led user research with the UX research team to uncover insights into discovery behaviours, informing both near-term and long-term opportunities, north-star product vision designs, and product strategies.

Outside of work…

I live in Toronto, Canada, but I spend most of my vacation days in Asia — especially Taiwan (where I was born) and Japan. A big ramen and gyoza enthusiast, I probably have an unhealthy addiction to spicy shoyu ramen.

When I’m not designing, you’ll likely find me blasting metal music to fuel my creativity or shouting in the middle of a circle pit. (or maybe I’m still doing that while designing?)
