How my curiosity leads me…
LOHAS IT Multimedia Co., Ltd & Ffun Technology Co., Ltd.
May 2018 – Mar 2020
Once upon a time, I embarked on my journey as a web and UI designer.
- Understand what the clients want to present and design their service on the website. – Crafting digital experiences with tools like Figma and mastering the intricacies of HTML5, CSS3, and APP systems.
- Completed and launched 5+ projects.
However, as I did more, a curious spark ignited within me: Why did the client want this? Based on what the clients want, is it really useful to the end users? What happened after we delivered the websites/products?… The questions about the rationale behind design decisions and their impact on end-users came out.

Oct 2022 – Feb 2023
I wanted to build something really useful for this world. I need to know the whole picture – Then I started my path to be a project manager in an IT agency with 20+ years of experience working for the government and various industries. I ventured forth to unravel the mysteries beyond design’s surface, seeking a holistic understanding of its impact.
- Communicated with the clients and understand what their business goals.
- Designed and landed the clients needs to deliverable scope and requirements with the resources
Based on the skills I have as an ex-UI designer, I also worked and learned with many seniors and became experienced in:
- Collaborated with cross-function teams, including designers, developers and data developers to to developing and delivering IT products.
- Delivered and launched 10+ projects.
Then, I was curious about more, why this affects users’ behaviours. why do users think like this? How can we make the decision based on “feelings with experience”? These were not convincing for me. How can we design the user experience and improve it?
Amidst the scope, structure, and skeleton of UX design, I yearned for deeper exploration. There was a limitation to touching the end-user. How can I learn more about users? How can I allocate resources? How can we make strategy more efficient and science-based?
Fueling my journey with boundless curiosity, I embarked on a quest for self-improvement, organizing book clubs and undertaking side projects to hone my craft. – Amidst the pages of books and the digital landscapes of online courses, I discovered the true value of continuous learning and practical application.
I also did a side project while I was practicing – Cookla!
I decided to do a side project every year!
To amplify my abilities and collaborate with others, I organized teams with friends and signed up Hackathons.
We participated 2022 Taipei Metro Hackathon and the 2022 Presidential Hackathon. How was the result? Who cares! This was just a start and it was FUN to build something that might be really impactful with your team!
Inspired by the endless possibilities of product design, I dared to dream of pushing boundaries and exploring new horizons.
With a one-year open work permit in hand, I embarked on a daring adventure, bidding farewell to the comfort of familiarity and embracing the unknown.
What would I get? I didn’t know, let me do my best!
Aug 2023 – Mar 2024
Amidst the challenges of job hunting, an unexpected invitation from showed up. The CEO of Pixel Dreams invited me to join the team? YES, I DO!
Seize the opportunity to immerse in this Canadian culture! Here, I had culture shock in an American working environment, but also adapted to the team’s open-minded and embraced my own advantages and disadvantages.
- Learned to be a creative project manager with a mindset of customer service.
- Worked with international teams and clients to deliver 15+ projects, including a website, marketing creatives and vendor management projects.
This offered a gateway to a world of cultural diversity and professional growth. I appreciate that PD team embraced me and I gained so much than I expected in this journey.
While keep moving forward on the way of understanding users and creating the best digital experience, I’m excited to see how far will my journey of product design go. If you’re also curious, feel free to reach out and we can explore more together!
