MM — like the candy
I’m a product designer specializing in growth and product strategy. My design superpower? Asking the right questions. I value cross-functional communication and efficiency, diving into complexity to craft meticulous and meaningful experiences.
Where I'm from —
I was raised in Seattle, Taipei, and San Francisco, before moving to LA for college. While I grew up in tech hubs, I was interested in anthropology, and that curiosity led me to pursue design.
Where I'm at —
Growing up across cultures instilled in me an appreciation for diverse perspectives, which drives my design process. Currently a Growth Product Designer at CNN in New York, NY🍎 .

My 5-9
My obsession with storytelling doesn't end at design. I also love to read, discover all the little details at cafes, and roll my pottery pieces into my yoga mat to bring them home.
