HEY THERE!
I'm Shannon
Human-Centered Design • Psychology • Asian Studies
I am a cross-cultural individual who has had the privilege of calling Taipei, Shanghai, Vancouver, and now New York City my homes.
An aspiring versatile designer, with a foundation in Human-Centered Design, Psychology and Asian Studies - Korea, I excel in understanding user needs through effective research and translating insights into user-centered solutions. Outside of work, I enjoy people watching, exploring museums, satisfying my wanderlust through travel, and creating aesthetically pleasing content.
As an individual, I'm curious, compassionate, and always ready to acquire new knowledge. Collaboration is essential to me, and I thrive in cross-functional teams to develop efficient and client-oriented solution. I firmly believe that problem-solving requires creativity, seeing problems from different angles, and generating imaginative ideas that are both useful and appropriate. My strength lies in applying diverse knowledge from various disciplines to be a multidisciplinary problem solver. I value transparent communication and being a proactive listener when building strong connections with clients and team members.
Let's connect and explore possibilities together. Feel free to reach out, especially if you know where to find the best desserts in the city!

This is me in a nutshell
Something I am passionate about!
This is me in a nutshell
Something I am passionate about!
1️⃣ I podcast, sing, take photos & sometimes make videos
Sharing my passions through different media is how I connect, create, and spark conversations with the world. Dive in and check out my podcast below!
2️⃣ I travel and love museums & art galleries
Traveling helps me relax, reflect, and recharge. I find inspiration in unexpected places, especially during quiet afternoons spent in museums.
3️⃣ I drink coffee and maybe consume too much desserts
Coffee doesn't give me a buzz — I just love the smell. Plus, it’s the perfect companion to desserts, a little sweetness always makes everything better!
4️⃣ I enjoy surprise planning
One of my favorite things is surprising people. There’s something about seeing their smiles that instantly makes me happy.
5️⃣ I also enjoy people watching and reading aestrology
It makes me feel connected to the world — every glance, gesture, and shared moment holds a story waiting to be understood.
6️⃣ I have a white and grey Persian cat
Her name is Snowy, I feel like we are becoming more alike overtime! (personality & apprearance)
7️⃣ Morandi is my favorite palette
I’m drawn to colors with a grey undertone — they bring a sense of tranquility that feels especially soothing amidst the vibrant chaos of our digital world.
