Hi, I'm Hsiao-Han. I analyze problem, I design solution, I code for stand in engineer's shoe, and I meet people to be inspired.

I am seeking for an awesome team

With my product design skillset and growth mindset, I am ready to relocate to a planet ( such as your product team 🪐  ) where I can make meaningful contribution and growing with a group of awesome people.

I am currently based in San Francisco Bay Area, open to relocate, and actively searching for a full-time product designer position. If you are curious about my projects or want to talk about design, feel free to reach out and have a coffee chat with me 😉

Education

University of Michigan, MSI

I graduated from the University of Michigan with Master's of Science in Information at May 2021. I specialized in User Experience Design and Research which prepared me to break down complex problem to achieve both user and business needs, make data-driven design decision with qualitative and quantitative insights, and create prototypes to systematically iterate product concepts.

Post-it notes are the extension of my brainpower :)

National Taiwan University, BA in Economics

I studied Economics and Political Science (minor) as an undergrad. I am passionate about Econometrics and Behavioral Economics, which pique my interest in interpreting social issues with the lens of statistic models and research papers about human behavior.

Maastricht University, Exchange Program

This was one of the best decisions in my life where I met a group of loving people who respect each other and live together but came from opposite ends of the world. I learned to embrace diverse perspectives and became a better person, thanks to the folks.

Other than design

I code to stand in engineer's shoe

I learned font-end coding during the time in MSI program, I am fluent with HTML/CSS and Javascript and have developed a FutureLetter mobile APP with React Native, Expo Library, and Firebase as backend. The full case study of this project is coming soon.

I learn new tools

Learning Procreate with tutorials on YouTube is one of them. The idea of these tools help me bring imagination to life always gives me a sense of satisfaction 😋

I manage scoliosis condition on daily basis

I want to share this experience because this has been part of me since I was 12. Maybe longer than any of the experience in my life. When staying in a same position for too long, I tend to have serious backache. Therefore, the condition has been my reminder of maintaining an active lifestyle, and make me care about the topics related to physical and mental health 🤗

Thank you for scrolling to the end!
