About me

Personal journey

These photos capture my journey over the past decade since moving to the U.S., building a new life, getting married, and raising two wonderful daughters. Family is the heart of my life. It keeps me grounded, inspired, and motivated every day.

Looking back, what I’m most proud of isn’t a particular project or award, but becoming a mom. Motherhood has deeply shaped how I design and lead — it’s taught me patience, empathy, and balance, and reminded me that real growth, both personal and professional, comes from care, curiosity, and connection.

Professional journey

My design career began in China, where I earned my bachelor’s and master’s degrees in Art and Design from Shanghai Jiao Tong University. With a foundation in visual design, I developed a strong eye for quality, detail, and clarity — principles that still shape how I design and lead today.

I joined Microsoft as a UX intern during university and soon discovered how design can bridge creativity and technology to make complex products feel simple and human. 16 years later, my focus has evolved from crafting visuals to shaping systems, strategies, and teams, always guided by that same design foundation.
