UI/UX Designer | Director of Curriculum
With a B.A. in Political Economy from the University of California, Berkeley, I have a strong foundation in Political Economics- International Trade. My professional journey includes roles such as UIUX Designer at Milestone Beverages and Viu, where I honed my skills in creating user-friendly interfaces. As the Director of Curriculum and Training at miniMinds English Learning Centre (Hong Kong), I oversaw the development of educational materials and training programs. Prior to that, as a Senior Teacher and Curriculum Developer at the same institution, I played a pivotal role in developing educational content and delivering high-quality instruction. My experience also includes being an English Second Language Teacher at READY TO LEARN LIMITED, where I provided instruction and support to students learning English as a second language. My career reflects a passion for education, design, and creating impactful user experiences.

Projects

Milestone Beverages

Milestone Beverages is an independent brand builder and incubator that develops wines and spirits that celebrate diverse tastes. I created Milestone Beverage’s design systems, icons, responsive UI components and templates for their web platform. Additionally, I redesigned Milestone’s mobile and desktop site with a modernized interface, ensuring it is responsive at designated breakpoints and assisting in rebuilding the site on Webflow in collaboration with developers .See More

Subtitle Accessibility

By improving subtitle accessibility for Viu’s users through conducting research, and enhancing and diversifying subtitle sizes and style across app/web, I ensured all users could customise their video watching experience. You may access the file using the password: GoodNightSee More

Herobanner Enhancement

Initially, Viu had a static hero banner on both mobile and web that often cut incorrectly at different breakpoints. By redesigning the hero banner, we created responsive layouts with new guidelines for content teams to follow, ensuring the best banners for every program.
