UX Designer Experience
With over 6 years in the gaming industry and 2 years in marketing, I specialize in creating immersive user experiences through interactive UI/UX design. My journey began as a fine arts graduate from National Taiwan Normal University, followed by a master's degree from National Taiwan University of Arts. Drawing on my 15 years of visual art background, I bring a meticulous, collaborative, and proactive approach to every design project.
My expertise spans art direction, interaction design, and product design, enriched by a portfolio of international award-winning designs such as the Red Dot Design Award and International Design Awards (IDA), recognized for their innovation and impact across Asia.
Senior UX Designer at realdrseattle
Currently, I lead UX design initiatives at realdrseattle, a dynamic digital marketing company. In this role, I collaborate closely with owners, directors, and developers to oversee the design process for various digital platforms. My responsibilities include creating and managing design work for website and application UI, email campaigns, presentations, PPC advertising, e-commerce shopping processes, and digital marketing materials. I also engage directly with external clients to craft proposals for comprehensive services encompassing website design, SEO, PPC, brand design, and marketing collateral.
Additionally, I provide mentorship and strategic design direction to senior, mid-level, and associate designers, ensuring alignment with project goals and timelines. This leadership role allows me to integrate my artistic sensibilities with practical UX methodologies, delivering solutions that are both visually compelling and user-centric.
Visual Artist Journey from Taiwan to Seattle
Over the past 7 years, I've embraced a multifaceted role as a visual artist, educator, and world traveler, inspired by my daughter's companionship. Originally from Taiwan, I've explored diverse mediums such as hand drawing, sculpture, digital animation, and literary writing, capturing the evolving landscapes and personal growth through poetic imagery. As a former public high school art teacher, I transitioned from institutional constraints to pursue art and travel freely, fostering my daughter's adaptability and resilience across global environments.
My artistic pursuits have been honored with awards such as the Washington State Artist Award and Artist Fellowship Awards from Artist Trust, the state's largest arts organization, underscoring significant milestones in my Washington State artistic journey. Contributing to impactful public art projects—including murals near Green Lake Park, digital projections in Kent and Capitol Hill, and art installations in Edmonds and Beacon Hill—has not only enriched my creative practice but also deepened my connection with the community, fostered a dialogue between art and public space.
