Nice to meet you.

Hi there 👋, and happy 2026!

My name is Shirley, an interdisciplinary product designer. This is my 6th year living in the Bay Area, California. Before that, I lived in beautiful San Diego where I finished my undergraduate degree at UC San Diego. I am passionate about combining design and technology, and never stop to explore more in this cross-disciplinary area!

In my free time, I love to travel, ice skate, watch sports and take care of my plants 🍅 🥒 - just to enjoy being myself. 

Please reach out to say hi!
