Hey again

Waving hand emoji

I'm Rachel.

I am a lifelong learner who embraces the process of trying and growing, both as a designer and as a person. Whether it's conducting research with limited resources or developing a product strategy, I'm ready to jump in and contribute!

A little bit about me

💬 Language is my special power. I speak three languages – English, Chinese, and Portuguese. The multicultural environment has collectively shaped me into a more thoughtful designer.

​🎨 I love design since I was a kid and I'm talented in it. I still remember the stunning days drawing for our classroom walls when I was 6 y/o.

My design principles

APPROACHABLE

Keep the simple things simple, and make the complex things possible. The tool will tend to become more complex over time, so I always make an effort to achieve the simplicity and elegancy.

SYSTEMATIC

Let the few empower the many. I leverage reusable parts to create something new and more complex. When features are added, I strive to respect the system, building on users trust and prior experience.

FLEXIBLE

Low barriers, high ceilings. I craft products that satisfy both experienced and inexperienced users by allowing each to complete an action by whatever method works best for them.
