About

About

Hi! I'm a product designer that has a knack for visual design and enjoys thinking about product strategy. I have 4 years of experience in consumer social, B2B SaaS business operation/enterprise tools, and climate tech. I grew up in Cleveland and studied Cognitive Science in Baltimore at Johns Hopkins University. Nevertheless, my second home is in the heart of Nanjing, China. In my free time, I love drinking tea, reading Elena Ferrante, and running.
