ZK Avatar

Hi, I am ZK.

I am a product designer creating delightful web & mobile experiences that drive business values.

Currently, I'm designing for Ingram Micro and transforming the traditional distribution industry into innovative digital experiences, to reach nearly 90% of the world's population serving their technology needs.

As a designer, my secret weapons are...

🚘

Drive solution from research insight

I transform research insights into innovative designs that precisely fulfill business needs while solving user problems effectively.

🧐

Bring Order to Complexity

I possess the ability to navigate and simplify complex problems, bringing clarity and structure to deliver effective design solutions.

πŸ’»

Tech Fluent Collaboration

With my strong tech background, I bridge the gap between design and development, ensuring seamless collaboration and communication.

β™Ώ

Accessibility Champion

I prioritize inclusive design, making sure all my design follows the WCAG guidelines

My diverse background in Frontend & Accessibility

Frontend Engineering

I interned at HBO and Adobe as a UI engineer, contributing to their global design system. It was an exciting challenge to consider localization requirements and cultural contexts.

Speaking both designer and engineer languages fluently, I facilitate seamless communication and smooth handoffs. I understand engineers' struggles and aim to make collaboration fun and engaging for all.

Accessibility

I've worked with top companies like Zoom, Microsoft, and Google, driving accessibility in their innovative products. I provide technical guidance, ensuring inclusive designs for all users.

I often encounter new challenges where there are no established best practices. But that's where the fun begins! We embark on a creative journey to discover innovative solutions, creating engaging experiences that leave no one behind.

Zoom UI

In 2019, I partnered with Zoom's designers and engineers to enhance the accessibility of their latest UI. Our collaborative efforts and design decisions continue to shape the inclusive and user-friendly dashboard we have today.

When I'm not designing / coding, you'll find me...

🧳 Traveling, Traveling, and Traveling

I'll never forget the day my third-grade teacher challenged my dream of traveling the world. But that didn't stop me. I became determined to turn my passion into a reality. I saved diligently, researched destinations, and embraced the thrill of discovering the unknown.

If you need any help planning for your next adventure, count me in!

Now, I proudly carry 14 countries in my heart and passport:

🍰 Dessert Hunting

Yes, you heard it right. It's not an easy task. The best compliment for a dessert from an Asian is, "This dessert is sweet - but it is not that sweet." And that's exactly what I'm on the hunt for – unique, delightful desserts that strike the perfect balance of flavors.
