Bridging physcial and digital experiences for human-centered technology

My love for human interface, industrial design, and system thinking naturally incubated into an expertise in smart devices & wearables, and broader emerging technologies involving human interaction.

My mission is to seamlessly bridging physical and digital world so that users delightfully adopt innovative technologies into their lifestyle. I flourish in an ambiguous space, an initiative that requires multidisciplinary approaches, self-driven, fast-moving lean environment.

I've led design directions for 5+ products from concept development to market roll out, all working closely with cross functional teams small and large. My products have been recognized with international design awards including iF design, Good design, CES innovation award.
