Designer. Creator.
Lifelong learner.

Hey there! I'm Stephanie. I'm a second-year undergraduate at Dartmouth College studying Cognitive Science and Human-Centered Design.


I’m a designer with 2+ years of client project experience, specializing in UX design, user research, and product strategy. I’m currently a product designer at the DALI lab and a design thinking consultant at the Design Initiative at Dartmouth. This summer, I’ll be interning with Sony Music Entertainment.

Growing up as an art enthusiast, I was fascinated by all things creative. I experimented with painting, drawing, theater, dance, and creative writing, each one deepening my passion for storytelling. Over the years, I’ve built a diverse background in marketing, studio art, entrepreneurship, stage management, art business, and journalism.


In college, I discovered UX design as the perfect intersection of creativity, storytelling, and problem solving. I’ve since sharpened my skills through coursework, self-led projects, online certifications, and hands-on experiences at the DALI Lab and the Design Initiative.

Born in Vancouver, raised in Shanghai, and now based on the East Coast, I’ve travelled to 40+ countries and draw inspiration from the people I meet. I care deeply about understanding users not just as humans, but as people with individual stories, experiences, and identities. I love building strong relationships and helping others unlock their creativity.


When I’m not designing, you can find me trying new restaurants, going to concerts, or hiking in the Upper Valley! I also love dancing, reading, sipping matcha, and mood boarding.
