    I love building awesome products that improve people's life in a massive scale.

    Every product I built, it's a continuous love story between my users and products. I believe a great product should be engaging, delightful, sometimes addictive, and should simply works. I believe great products have to be built by a team of rockstar talents, who are obsessed with delivering the best user experience, the most sophisticated technology, and supporting a sustainable business model. I find my niche to be a designer who embrace entrepreneurship, and having a full spectrum of skills to build products people love.

    To do that, I specialize in designing for ecosystems of products, envisioning new concept designs, identifying strategies for success, and leading cross-functional teams. I have worked in both visionary and schedule-driven capacities, have been a manager as well as an individual contributor, and have designed for a variety of users and technologies.

    At my current company, LinkedIn, I'm designing both web and mobile experiences for the professional social network. My focus is on conceptualizing and refining site features and new products that meet the user's desire for engaging, useful, and pleasurable experiences, and the business's revenue and monetization goals. Beyond that, I also specialize on design techniques of helping product to achieve hyper growth and virality.
