12+ YOE across UX, Business & Education

Hi, I'm An.
My name’s pronounced like the en in entrepreneur.
Not the an in anti-hero ; )

1. Core values


Everything I've done brought me here and I'm excited for where it leads.

1. Design craft + business + and people. I connect the whole room.

I bring a rare combination of design craft, entrepreneurship, and people leadership, allowing me to mediate between stakeholders and align them around shared goals, even with differing perspectives.

2. Taught a thousand designers.
I bring out a team's best.

I believe human connection drives every successful launch. That's why investing in people is at the core of my work, growing designers into strong teams and bridging business needs with human reality.

3. Focused on impact.
More outcome, less resource.

I elevate teams through education, building clarity on WHAT's worth doing, WHY it matters, and HOW to execute it well, from that we can advocate for impactful UX decisions without burning resources.

2. Achievements in numbers


People love metrics, so I counted carefully. Allow me to brag, proudly.

But you know what real success looks like for me?

20+ books read each year. For curiosity
200+ dogs and cats I rescued and fed. For love
1K+ sqm of land owned and tended. For roots
So grateful for this privilege.
