Hi, I'm Emily!

I’m a proud Taiwanese, UCLA Bruin 🐻, and Bay Area native, with deep love and passion for all things creative—whether it’s design, painting, ceramics, sewing, or crochet 🧶.

On paper, I am a designer with experience in app design, web design, startup work, passion projects, and product redesigns! 🎨 With a degree in Psychology, minor in Digital Humanities, and concentration in User Experience Design, I am passionate about blending my understanding of human behavior with digital tools to craft intuitive, impactful user experiences. ✨

I’m a designer, UCLA Bruin 🐻, and Bay Area native, with an endless love for all things creative, whether it’s design, ceramics, sewing, painting, or crochet 🧶.

Off paper, I am a self-certified matcha barista 🍵, no.1 miffy collector, searcher of the most aesthetic cafes, avid movie rewatcher, sitcom lover (Friends & HIMYM!!), enjoyer of pretty trees 🌳 and beach picnics, expert at game pigeon 8 ball 🎱 (standard mode), and aspiring dog (and/ or cat) mother.

On paper, I am a designer with a deep curiosity for people 🤝 their needs, challenges, emotions, and everything in between. I believe great design is both intuitive and intentional: grounded in compassion, informed by research, and crafted to make everyday interactions feel seamless, meaningful, and beautiful. ✨

Simply put, I am designer with a curious mind, a cup of matcha in hand, and way too many hobbies to list. Thanks for stopping by my humble corner of the internet. Happy exploring! 🌱

My Communities 🫶

UCLA Creative Labs

First joining as an inexperienced designer, the community of PMs, developers, and fellow designers at Creative Labs helped me grow as a creative problem solver, innovative thinker, and empathetic designer. Through Creative Labs, I worked as a designer to bring several cool products to life!

As the founding designer, I worked with an incredible community of talented designers, developers, PMs, and marketing associates to bring this club discovery platform to life. Made by students, for students.

UCLA Ceramics

Providing me with a healing and relaxing space on campus, UCLA Ceramics holds a special place in my heart. Hours pass effortlessly as my entire focus attends to molding, carefully painting, and watching each piece come to life. Ceramics reminds me that beauty often comes from patience, intention, and getting a little messy along the way.

UCLA TASA

The Taiwanese American Student Association at UCLA surrounded me with a loving home away from home. As the publicity chair, I managed our social media presence, designed our website, and fostered a welcoming cultural community for hundreds of UCLA students.
