Experience

I possess over 17 years of hands-on experience in UX/UI design, with a strong focus on mobile applications. My journey began as a UX designer at MAGIC Lab within HTC, where my responsibilities primarily centered around user research and idea generation. After five years, I transitioned to the UX team at MediaTek, where I played a pivotal role in product development, guiding initial concepts to their ultimate realization as finished products.

Driven by a deep passion for IoT and interaction design, I had the privilege of joining the advanced technology team at UIC, where I spearheaded the design of innovative Asante products. Nearly three years ago, I made a strategic move to the marketing team, where I've been instrumental in orchestrating and executing marketing campaigns, as well as crafting compelling digital advertisements. This transition allowed me to extend the principles of user-centered design beyond product development, adding value to our organization in multiple facets.
