Hello, I'm Eileen.

An Experience Designer, an Agile Practitioner, a Problem-solver and a Visual Communicator.

I studied nursing at York University, where I happenily to have admired digital designing and decided to transition into UX design. I completed a post-graduate in Interactive Media Management, and furthered my skills in UI/UX design and also web development.

From nursing to design and development, helping people has always been a core value in my education and past experiences, and so pivoting to UX design made sense to continue practicing a user-centered approach to my work, in design. Creating design systems became a passion of mine, where I can solve technical and design problems, both creatively and efficiently.

I enjoy spending my time in the design community, and learning more about design, business, and technology.

Asides from all of the design-talk, I enjoy reading on my Kindle, learning new recipes, watching k-dramas and korean aesthetic vlogs ;*}, going camping with my family, and taking snapshots of micro moments of my days.

Things I value the most

☺️ Honesty and kindness
🤝 Cooperativeness
💬 Communication
🌱 Eagerness to learn and grow
