Hi, I'm Winnie!
It's very nice to meet you.

As a Product Designer, one of my favorite stories in all of human history is about the surgeon who invented rubber gloves -- not as a means to shield patients from infection, but to protect the raw, disinfectant-chapped hands of the user: a scrub nurse he admired.

Centuries later, an author would fondly write that, “He loved her to the point of invention.”

My dedication to sentimental design ultimately stems from a resolute love for building connection. I firmly believe that technology should be utilized to improve quality of life for all —especially those who feel overlooked and underrepresented by these new waves of advancements. By grounding my work in research and intention, I aim to remove barriers, amplify marginalized voices, and craft inclusive, accessible experiences that empower individuals while leaving room for curiosity, delight, and wonder.

I design for the purpose of understanding, serving, and celebrating our diverse community – to the point of invention.

When I'm away from my desk

I am constantly experimenting with new ways to create – I find joy in tackling arts and crafts conundrums with my own two hands (with an extra dash of audacity and luck). Ages ago, I actually challenged myself to pick up at least one new hobby every year in preparation for gift-giving seasons. You can check out my favorite projects on my Playground page!

In my spare time, I also enjoy reading mystery thrillers, growing into a passable plant mom, generating too many Spotify playlists, and being an avid Thai food enthusiast.

I appreciate you taking the time to learn all about me! As a small thank you, here is a picture of my senior dog, Teddy (who we have very lovingly dubbed a "baby-shaped grandma").

Let's keep in touch!
