Bio | Iโm a technology entrepreneur with a background as an award-winning multidisciplinary designer, educator, speaker, and content creator.
๐ Designer + Tech Entrepreneur After a decade working as a designer with Fortune 500 companies, I took the entrepreneurial leap and founded Path Unbound, a UI/UX design school offering comprehensive, instructor-led, 1:1 learning programs and portfolio coaching for both aspiring and working designers. As a founder, I specialize in no-code development and run the company with a bootstrapped model.
๐ค Speaker Iโve had the opportunity to speak at international conferences on topics like bootstrapped startup building and career development in designโtopics I care deeply about.
๐ Educator As an educator, Iโve served as adjunct faculty at several institutions, including the Fashion Institute of Technology and the City University of New York (CUNY). I was also the Lead Visual Design Instructor at General Assembly before starting my own school.
๐ Immigration & Digital Nomadism I moved to the United States ๐บ๐ธ from China ๐จ๐ณ at 18 with a full scholarship to attend university. After a decade in New York and a few years in Los Angeles, Iโve embraced a location-independent lifestyle โ๏ธ and now live and work around the world. Iโm also a recipient of the EB-1A green card for individuals with extraordinary ability ๐ from the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services.
๐ฌ Content Creation As a content creator, I share life hacks and travel experiences from the lens of a globe-trotting digital nomad, with a focus on storytelling, personal growth and practical travel insights.
๐ Hobbies & Mentorship In my free time, Iโm a passionate bachata ๐๐ฝ dancer, a multilingual language ๐ enthusiast, and a startup mentor with organizations like Techstars, Startupbootcamp, Alchemist Accelerator, and Founder Institute. |
