About Me

Yep, that's me!

Yep, that's me!

Hey there, I'm Jacky!

I've been a Product Designer for over 5 years, working across enterprise B2B SaaS, AI and LLM-driven experiences, eCommerce, nonprofits, and more.

Most recently, I was Lead UX/UI Designer at ClearBlade, joining as the company's founding designer. I built our full UX research and design practice from scratch, mentored junior designers, and led dozens of 0-to-1 projects for major Fortune 100 operations teams.

Currently, I'm advancing my AI design-to-code workflows to build custom app solutions for private clients.

I also have a multidisciplinary background that continues to inform my design work today: I've conducted research in developmental psychology and clinical labs, I have my Bachelor's in Neuroscience, I've been designing and illustrating since childhood, and I've developed a passion for accessibility and education from working with special needs individuals.

Art & Illustration

I love to paint & draw in my free time. I find that it translates into my work as a Product Designer well, as good visual design is a core aspect of creating a product that is both usable and delightful.

Kickin' back with my Taekwondo crew!

The day I got my red-black belt!

Practicing our self defense techniques

Taekwondo

I've been training Taekwondo for 3 years now, and currently have my red-black belt (just one level below a black belt!). Taekwondo has many core principles that I try to apply in my design practice:

  • Humility - A good Product Designer must be humble. After all, the design is for the users–not me!

  • Integrity - I have a responsibility to do right by all of my users.
