Welcome! I'm Sharon.
Step inside to explore my design philosophy, journey, and the work that fuels my passion.
My story
Born in Taiwan, cultivated in Canada, and inspired by the world. I bring a global perspective to my work, combining empathy, creativity, and curiosity to craft designs that make a difference.
With over 14 years of experience across product design, branding, and UX/UI, I’ve had the privilege of working with startups, nonprofits, and Fortune 500 companies. Whether freelancing, collaborating in-house, or consulting on contract, my mission is simple: use design to create a better, more inclusive world.
As an INFP personality type, I’m driven by empathy, purpose, and a desire to tell meaningful stories through design. I’m also a lover of nature, photography, and exploring the mystics — all of which inspire me.

My design philosophy
