Junior Interaction Designer | ArtCenter Graduate
Graduating with a Bachelor of Science in Interaction Design from ArtCenter College of Design, I have gained valuable experience in the field. As a Junior Interaction Designer at Designworks, A BMW Group Company, I contributed to the Sidewalk and Transit Amenities Program, focusing on innovative LA smart mobility solutions. My role involved user-centric research, guiding the design of an accessible bus information system, and developing end-to-end design processes for various touchpoints. Previously, I interned at frog, where I participated in the KGI Bank App&Rwd project and established the design language system. My experience also includes working as a UX Designer at TikTok, focusing on ByteDance monetization products, and as a UI&UX Designer at SportEdge, where I helped develop an application for US high school sport students. Additionally, I contributed to an industrial design sponsored project at ASUS, focusing on enhancing the creative workflow and collaboration.
