Experience
I bring over 17 years of hands-on experience in UX/UI design, with a specialized focus on mobile applications. My career began at MAGIC Lab within HTC, where I concentrated on user research and ideation. After five years, I transitioned to the UX team at MediaTek, playing a crucial role in product development and guiding initial concepts to their successful realization. Driven by a deep passion for IoT and interaction design, I joined the advanced technology team at UIC, where I led the design of innovative Asante products.
Nearly three years ago, I made a strategic transition to the marketing team, where I have been pivotal in crafting digital content and orchestrating digital marketing efforts. This shift has allowed me to apply user-centered design principles across various organizational functions, adding significant value beyond traditional product development.
