I turn big ideas into real impact by bringing together strategy, design, and a deep appreciation for operational detail. Whether it’s navigating complexity, aligning cross-functional teams, or launching new programs, I love solving tough challenges and making innovation feel effortless (even when it’s anything but).

My work has taken me across global regions, leading design innovation, go-to-market strategies, and operational growth. I specialize in turning ambiguity into structure—building the systems, processes, and frameworks that help ideas move from concept to real-world execution. Using design research, business strategy, and systems thinking, I create solutions that aren’t just smart but actually work in practice. Whether it's shaping design strategy, launching global programs, or expanding into new markets, I focus on making ideas strategic, scalable, and actionable.

I grew up in China, Australia, and the U.S., so I’ve spent my life bridging cultural gaps—whether that’s in business, design, or defending the superiority of real Chinese hotpot over all imitators. I’m a lifelong learner who believes in knowledge sharing and accessible education, and I use my expertise in strategy and innovation to expand opportunities for learning, foster curiosity, and create spaces for growth across industries and cultures.

When I’m not solving complex challenges, I’m probably out wandering in nature, buying more plants than I have space for, or testing a new recipe (some wins, some...learning experiences). I live in the San Francisco Bay Area with my husband and our two cats, Pickles & Dill, who are the true project supervisors in the house.

I love tackling new challenges, new markets, and new ideas, and I hope my work sparks curiosity and meaningful conversations—or at the very least, a debate about the best regional style of hotpot.
