Currently, at Finku (YC W22), I have gained experience in designing a wide range of UIs and swags and conducting user research using both practical and scientific approaches.
Ever since I was young, I dreamed of having a job that is both creative and technical. I first aspired to be a computer animator, inspired by the animated movies I watched. Further on, I delved into visual arts, starting with painting classes on the weekends.
In middle school, I experimented with graphic design using tools like CorelDRAW and Photoshop. Throughout high school, I was behind many of the posters for the events held, and I even won a state-held poster design competition!
While majoring in computer science, I quickly realized my lack of interest in coding. I discovered UI/UX as an escape, finding it a sweet spot that combined my interest in art and technology. As I progressed, I deeply resonated with the idea that design research, combining creativity and analytical thinking, could produce products that empower users and make a social impact.
As a U.S. citizen authorized to work without a visa sponsorship, I am currently seeking full-time product design opportunities.
