About

I am an interaction designer working across product UI/UX and emerging human–machine systems. At Segway-Ninebot, I explored automotive HMI concepts within engineering constraints, focusing on how interfaces influence attention and decision-making. At Nestlé, I contributed to scalable digital product experiences, translating complex requirements into structured, production-ready UI systems. I approach design as a structured discipline — combining research, prototyping, and visual logic to create interfaces that are intuitive, reliable, and built to scale.

Aston Martin Interaction Redesign

This project undertakes a comprehensive redesign of Aston Martin’s driver-facing interactive ecosystem, encompassing the steering wheel, dashboard, and central display. Adopting a ground-up approach, the process bridges physical form and digital interface to define a next-generation human–machine interaction system. In this project, I led the redesign of the steering wheel, focusing on the user experience of its control interface. My responsibilities included defining the interaction logic of the steering wheel inputs, as well as designing the communication framework and animation behaviors between the steering wheel and the dashboard.
