A lil' about me...

Where it started

I grew up in Markham, just north of Toronto, as a Chinese-Canadian kid who always embraced her creativity: drawing, dancing, playing instruments, and eventually designing. I loved seeing my creations spark joy in others, and that’s still what drives me as a designer today.

Where I am now

I’m a final-year Bachelor of Information student at UofT, designing accessible, human-centred products, currently on a capstone with TD Bank.

Previously, I led UX/UI for the UofT Innovation Hub’s accessible campus spaces project and designed for an early-stage startup. I also designed and built this site, using AI as part of my workflow.

Where I’m going

I’m looking for new grad product design roles where I can help make technology easier and more useful for everyone.

Outside of designing, you’ll find me dancing, exploring new eats, or bopping my head to music as I stroll around Toronto.

In my free time, I eat my way through Toronto, and my highlights are in this interactive map. Tap a heart to read my notes ♡

24/7 boba store AND the most fragrant milk teas. Loyal fan of the green grape jasmine milk tea, 50% sugar, less ice.

A noodle haven for introverts. Protected by their panels, I can enjoy their flavourful Kunming noodles in peace.

Malatang restaurant as a front, but they have the most innovative + best value ice cream parfaits. Personal favourite is their camellia oolong flavour.

Winner winner chicken dinner. After trying so much Korean fried chicken in my life, I always come back to the boneless Cheesling chicken + rosé tteokbokki here.

A one-of-a-kind menu where everything you drink and eat tastes straight from a garden, in the best way possible.

Unassuming cafe tucked away in Chinatown with quality matcha and cakes. I think about their Earl Grey matcha + Earl Grey terrine combo when I'm sad.

Heartwarming food that brings back Chinese home-cooked nostalgia. Their crispy fried eggplant is more addicting than popcorn.
