​

Drawing inspiration from human creativity, my work creates meaningful things and tells stories that lie at the intersection of art, design, education, and HCI.

​

I am a UX Consultant & Research Associate at the Department of Computer Science, University of California, Davis, where I work with Professor Hao-Chuan Wang in the Collaborative and Social Computing (CSC) Lab.

 

I earned my Ph.D. in Learning and Mind Sciences from UC Davis in 2022, where I conducted HCI and educational VR research in the Visualization & Interface Design Innovation (VIDI) Lab under the guidance of Prof. Kwan-Liu Ma and also explored instructional design for ed-tech products at Information and Educational Technology (IET). Before this, I obtained my M.F.A. in Digital Arts and my M.S. in HCI from Iowa State University. I also worked on teaching, acrylic and digital art, learning experience/UX/UI design, and marketing research in the United States and China.
