Hi again :-)

I’m Kay, a Chinese-Canadian designer from the 6ix

I’m looking for my next opportunity to design meaningful experiences that empower relationships between people across digital spaces. Whether I’m optimizing processes, designing new features, or advocating for users, I want to grow with the talented people around me.

So, what’s my story?

  1. I’m an illustrator, turned social psychologist, turned self-taught visual designer, turned user researcher, and now aspiring product designer... or maybe I was a UX generalist all along? 🤔 

  2. My design-spirations are social media, micro-interactions, personalization and gamification! 

  3. I'm always on a creative project: whether it's for my online art shop or planning my next DIY.

  4. One time, I took a philosophy course on Aesthetics so I could learn AND look at pretty pictures at the same time. Big brain.
