About Me

As a highly motivated UX designer with a PhD in music and extensive experience in teaching and running my own business, I am driven by a constant desire for personal and professional growth. I am deeply committed to pursuing meaningful work that challenges and fulfills me.

With my expertise in research, I thrive on gathering and analyzing data to uncover valuable insights into user behavior, market trends, and user needs. This allows me to create user-centered experiences that truly meet the needs of the target audience. Problem-solving is at the core of my approach, and I excel at breaking down complex challenges into manageable components, exploring innovative and effective solutions. I approach each project strategically, blending analytical thinking with creativity to design solutions that not only address user needs but also align with the broader objectives of the business. As a music professor, I have cultivated strong communication skills and a deep understanding of students' needs. This experience has allowed me to make learning enjoyable while achieving educational goals.

My entrepreneurial journey, which began in 2022 with the founding of my own music studio for high-quality education, has equipped me with a holistic business perspective. This path has honed my skills in strategic planning, understanding client needs, market analysis, and competitive benchmarking. These abilities fortify my user-centric design philosophy, enabling me to adeptly address user challenges and craft solutions that resonate with enthusiasm. Interestingly, this journey overlapped with my exploration into UX design, unveiling similarities, especially in user-centric problem-solving and gauging market dynamics.

Beyond the realms of design and academia, music remains my haven. An accomplished composer, my pieces span a wide range of styles, from orchestral masterpieces to avant-garde improvisations. I have had the honor of collaborating with prestigious ensembles like the Shepherd School Chamber Orchestra and the Jack Quartet. My compositions have echoed in renowned venues, such as the Kennedy Center for Performing Arts and the He Lvting Concert Hall. My journey as a composer has deepened my capacity for innovative thinking, allowing me to craft narratives in music that evoke emotion and resonate profoundly with audiences. Collaborating with musicians from varied backgrounds has solidified my belief in the power of diverse perspectives. This experience has mirrored the essence of teamwork: uniting disparate voices towards a singular, harmonious vision.

Outside these professional pursuits, I deeply cherish moments immersed in nature, travel, and photography. The majesty of the natural world rejuvenates my spirit and fuels my creativity. Through my lens, I aim to capture and share this awe-inspiring beauty with the world.
