Design Buddies’ Post

New year, new intro! Do reach out if you'd like to be friends~ 🎨 I love to draw and design! Specifically kawaii/anime style art. Originally inspired by MapleStory! 🌎 I’ve been to 40+ countries and host parties around the world. Currently posting this from Antarctica! 💁🏻♀️ I’m in my mid 20’s and live in San Francisco. I grew up in Cupertino, California 🐰 I founded Design Buddies, a community of 150,000+ designers. We’re helping designers improve their skills and land jobs! 🤠 I’ve been on many random career side quests including wanting to be a doctor, software engineer, game designer, professional runner, and more. Most recently I was a UX designer but I left to vibe around the world 📍 My parents are from Singapore and Taiwan. I exist because they met at a professional networking event in Silicon Valley. I can also speak fluent Mandarin Chinese 🏃🏻♀️ I made my Instagram account when I was really into running. So obsessed that I placed top 10 at USA nationals. Then I got injured in college. I’ve been running again and am training for marathons! 💡~professionally~ I've only had one full-time job out of school. I was a UX Designer at Electronic Arts but left in 2024. I was formerly a Virtual Reality Robotic Surgery Game Developer Intern (yes, that was my official title) at Intuitive before I joined EA. I studied Bioengineering and Computer Science engineering for my bachelor's degree and master's degree from Santa Clara University. 👀 What else would you like to see on my LinkedIn? In 2025 I'm going to be real AF here. No more sugar coating. I'd also love to learn about you!
