Hi, I’m Annie 👀 I'm a UX/UI Designer based in Tokyo. Before Tokyo, I was studying Marketing at Ritsumeikan APU 🇯🇵 , and Business Technology Management at The University of British Columbia 🇨🇦.

My friends tell me I am the most wholesome person they have ever met, and I think they are absolutely right!

• I try to sneak in puns during conversations.
• I am always doing passion projects in my free time.
• I'm also an LGBTQIA+ ally, a mental health advocate, and a supporter for sustainable living.

💛 Nice to see you here.

Why I do what I do

<aside> 💡 My goal is to create value-adding products that solves social issues by collaborating with people from different backgrounds.

After breaking into Tech/Design from Business, I’m now on a quest to help students embrace their personal stories to make meaningful connections, brand themselves, and find a career they love.

I have conducted workshops, webinars on Tech, UX topics, and Design Thinking.

I also do consultations and have mentored 140+ students from 13+ countries.
