I like turning messy ideas
into things that work.
Design Engineer working across interaction, systems, and implementation.

How I work
I move between Figma, product systems, frontend implementation, and AI-assisted development instead of treating design and engineering as separate handoff stages. The interaction, the state machine, and the code that ships are one job.
Right now that means Isleo — an iOS focus product where I own the design language, the Blender and Rive asset pipeline, and the React Native implementation — and production work at FLEXI-CASA, where I'm the sole design engineer with end-to-end product ownership and design decisions have to survive contact with a real storefront.
I'm drawn to AI-native products and emerging interaction models — where the product question is what a person and a model do together, and no pattern library has the answer yet.
Based in Grand Rapids, MI.(willing to relocate) H-1B transfer-ready.
Beyond the work
- MS in Technology Innovation (HCI) from the University of Washington
- Originally from China — fluent in Mandarin and English
- I write on Medium about AI-native development
- Microsoft Imagine Cup 2022 Americas Regional Champion
When I'm not building, I'm strength training, watching chipmunks in my backyard, or eating my way through whatever cuisine I haven't tried yet.
