UX Design + Strategy

About

Nice to meet you! 👋

Christy - Designer & Strategist

Thank you for stopping by! I’m a User Experience Designer with skills in visual design, business strategy, and project management. I completed an Interactive Arts + Technology and Business Administration Joint Major at Simon Fraser University in Vancouver, Canada. I started off in marketing aiming to lead design thinking and shape marketing practices for better customer experiences. Now, my passion for design continues to grow and I am equipped with skills in research, strategy, marketing, and analytics. As a design thinker with business acumen and a creative flair, I aim to craft delightful and valuable experiences by integrating art and data.

Ever since I was young, I would do a lot of graphic design, art, writing, animation, and web design. At age 12, I designed and coded my own website. Having people engage with my content was very exciting. I am passionate about integrating visual and interactive elements to create an intuitive and delightful experience. I also value diversity and inclusion, which I aim to consider more in my designs.

Previously, I was a Product Designer at Monkiri supporting equal opportunities for financial inclusion. I have also been on the strategy team at TELUS for my Co-op and a UX Designer at Terminal 1 in Hong Kong. Currently, I co-founded multiple successful businesses including a strategic design agency as well as an eCommerce X AI mentorship agency. I’ve since helped 200+ businesses design and strategize their products, services, brands, and websites.

Aside from work, I love to volunteer for the community and have taken on leadership roles. During my free time, I like to doodle, run my food blog, read books, and study languages (Japanese, Italian and more). To see my past experience, view my resume.

Feel free to reach out! I’m open to project opportunities or just a chat (even about food).
