Hi! I'm Chao

I'm a product designer based in Washington D.C. with a deep passion and curiosity for crafting digital experiences that merge design, technology, and human psychology (all about human).
‍
My journey spans UX, web, and mobile design, animation, and visual identity. At Flikshop, I lead projects that shape user experience and drive product innovation. I love tackling complex problems and creating intuitive, human-centered designs.
‍
Outside of design, you’ll find me exploring new interests—from film, photography, to traveling.

I’m driven by curiosity and a belief that great design can make a meaningful impact on people’s lives.

Currently Product Designer @ Flikshop.

Curiosity for human brought me to design

My curiosity about humans, our relationships with others, our surroundings, and our environment has driven me to take action in both the creation (design) and exploration (UX) of the human experience.

Outside of work...

When I’m not immersed in the world of UI/UX design, I’m probably indulging in one of my many passions that fuel my creativity and curiosity:

🎬 Movies make me think, feel, and explore new perspectives. I update my film list once in a while if you’re up for some recommendations! 🍿)
Photography and Art are my playgrounds for creativity—from quirky city snapshots to experimental sketches— I create artsy chaos (puns intended).
Reading 🔥📚 deepens my understanding for the human and the world. My reading list is a blend of design wisdom, science, and anything that helps me learn something new!
