Hello
I'm Kristen

I'm a UX Designer passionate about creating simple, yet meaningful solutions that make a difference. My journey into UX design started with a childhood love for interactive games and creating experiences that felt uniquely mine. Later, while living in Taiwan, I discovered my passion for UX design by building a booking site for my tutoring business, aiming to provide flexible online services for working adults.

Living and working abroad taught me that great design transcends language barriers and gave me a unique perspective on designing for diverse users. Outside of design, I love learning new things and always embrace being a beginner since you'll only be a beginner at something once! When I'm not designing, you'll find me painting, taking film photos, or attempting to bake.

I'm currently seeking work opportunities to grow as a designer, with plans to pursue a Master's in Human-Computer Interaction Design in the next few years. I'm always looking for ways to grow creatively, professionally, and personally. If you'd like to collaborate, feel free to reach out! :)
