Who am I?
Hi, I'm Sisi! A UX/UI Designer passionate about crafting intuitive, efficient experiences that make a real impact.
My background spans industry, education, and healthcare, where I’ve designed systems that not only work well but truly support users in their goals. I’m especially passionate about interaction design and how thoughtful details can shape meaningful user experiences.
Collaboration energizes me. I love working with cross-functional teams and engaging with users to uncover insights, solve problems, and iterate on ideas. I approach design with curiosity and empathy, always striving to understand the “why” behind the “what.”
Whether I’m prototyping a complex interface or mapping out a user journey, I aim to bring clarity, purpose, and delight into every experience I design.

My design philosophy revolves around prioritizing people's needs. This belief is symbolized by my Chinese name, which includes the character "心" (heart), guiding my dedication to empathy and understanding. This meticulous approach is interwoven into my UX design journey, ensuring that I craft thoughtful and user-centered experiences.
More About ME
I'm quite the baking enthusiast. It's a fun fact that I used to bake personalized birthday cakes for every member of my family. The sense of achievement I get after successfully completing each one, as well as the creative journey of decorating them, is something I truly cherish.
Engaging in outdoor activities is deeply therapeutic for me. I participate in various events such as dragon boat competitions, marathons, and sprint races to find rejuvenation.
I enjoy assisting others and actively engaging in social community events. Previously, I volunteered internationally and domestically, teaching students. I've also taken part in environmental initiatives, channeling my energy towards supporting social good.
I adore lighthouses and always have my camera ready to capture their beauty while traveling. I've photographed a variety of styles and designs, each telling its own story against the sea or coastline backdrop. From classic towers to quaint beacons, I'm drawn to them all.
