ABOUT
Exploring Relationships Through Everyday Life
I am a product developer and design coordinator from Taiwan, passionate about exploring how design can strengthen relationships in everyday life. By observing human behaviors, social dynamics, and everyday experiences, I uncover opportunities to create meaningful connections through products, experiences, and systems.
With a background in product design and design management, my work spans research, strategy, product development, and execution. I enjoy bridging insights and ideas with real-world implementation, turning concepts into thoughtful and feasible outcomes. I thrive in fast-paced, collaborative environments where diverse perspectives come together to create meaningful impact.
