Curriculum Vitae · 2026Product-minded UI/UX Designer — messy workflows → clear product experiences.
Profile
Product & creative designer with 8+ years across UI/UX, digital products, branding, and multimedia. I work best where ideas are still messy — organizing unclear requirements into flows, screens, and systems people can actually use. Experience spans agencies, startups, corporate teams, and my own small business. Malaysian, based in Kaohsiung, Taiwan; open to product roles across markets.
