Hello. 안녕하세요. 你好.
I'm a designer based in San Francisco, currently shaping the future of autonomous vehicles at Aurora. Previously at IDEO, I partnered with Fortune 500 companies worldwide to bring human-centered innovation to life.
I strive to create things that leave impact—crafting products and experiences that people genuinely love and embrace. This starts with listening. The most transformative solutions come from putting people at the center, strategically aligning business goals and delightfully delivering what is possible.
Guiding Principles
Start with what role should 'this' play in people's lives.
Innovation is measured by user adoption.
No prototype, no meeting.
Drive high frequency & low amplitude conversations.
What's appropriate is more impactful than what is cool.
Make partners successful, they'll want to the same.
Breakdown boundaries, vertically embed, co-own.
People care and support what they create.
We do our best work when we are having fun.
