Designing for everyone means designing beyond your own perspective. I share how language, cultural awareness, and lived experience influence my inclusive design process—so no one gets left behind.

From studying social systems to designing digital ones, I reflect on how my sociology background helps me see user needs more clearly—and how it led me to a career in UI/UX.

Prototypes turn ideas into experiences. In this post, I walk through how I used mid- and high-fidelity prototypes in my Spotify project to test usability early and often—without getting stuck chasing perfection.

Before I designed interfaces, I taught English in a rural town with limited shared language. That experience taught me the power of visual clarity, patience, and empathy—all of which shape how I design today.

It’s easy to jump into solution mode. I talk about how I slow down, map real user frustrations, and use FigJam to find the patterns behind the pain points—so my designs actually solve the right problems.

Personas are helpful—but they only tell part of the story. In this post, I share how direct conversations with users at Foxconn revealed unexpected gaps and shaped a more grounded, human-centered design.
