Geography student at National Taiwan University. I design interfaces that make complex, layered information legible — turning spatial systems, data dashboards, and full-stack applications into experiences people can actually use.
Geography taught me that a well-designed map is essentially a user interface for the physical world — every projection is a tradeoff, every legend a design decision. I carry this spatial thinking into UX and data visualization, treating every interface as a problem of information architecture first and aesthetics second.

I’m an athlete on the NTU Track and Field team, specializing in the 400m and 800m, events that require both strategic pacing and grit. I’m also a huge NBA fan. To balance the intensity of life, I enjoy solo traveling. The freedom of exploring new places independently allows me to recharge and gain fresh perspectives.
