With a Bachelor's degree in Industrial Design and a Master of Information in UX Design, I bring cross-industry expertise and a certified specialization in digital accessibility. Fluent in Cantonese, Mandarin, English, and Japanese, I navigate multilingual and multicultural spaces with ease, bridging disciplines and cultures through thoughtful design.
