Call me Leila, or Ly /lily in the valley/
I am product designer focusing on data-driven and research-based design. In addition, I'm passionate about design system. I find great satisfaction in seeing my design elements implemented by other designers and developers, contributing to a larger, cohesive product.
In my spare time, I indulge in various hobbies that spark my creativity, such as filming, photography, and fashion. I also love exploring new restaurants and organizing them into Google Map collections, and I enjoy playing tennis and pickleball in the summer.
I spent four years in undergraduate doing digital marketing while nurturing my budding design passion through Graphic Design minor. At Ivy Talent, I did web design in addition to Marketing work. After that, I realized that design was where I wanted to put my heart & soul into.
In an age where we are overwhelmed with data floating everywhere, telling a compelling data story is hard. With previous experience in research, data, and media, I turn complicated and big data sets into a memorable, persuasive and engaging data story that will influence clients' decision-making processes and impact consumers on a personal level.
In the near future, I envision myself as a UX designer who uses grounded research and data-driven insights to help underrepresented communities feel comfortable with emerging technologies. My empathy is rooted in the stories I heard about the mistreatment and lack of support in the technology sector for underrepresented communities. From those experience, I aspire to design inclusive interfaces and better user experience for underrepresented communities.
