Hello! I'm Chris, Sr. UX designer at SPINS. Previously, I was a UX designer at a printer company, Lexmark; and later in a Scandinavian logistics company, PostNord, and last 2021, I was a UX design lead at Accenture.
I earned my Master's in Design at Shu-Te University in Taiwan and received my UX Certification at Nielsen Norman Group.
Just a side note, I was a merchant marine seafarer on ocean-going vessels for 5 years before I shifted to design. Now, I enjoy evangelizing UX and empowering the organization with design strategy and human-centric design principles.
When I'm not working, I run a UX design studio at Ergo, co-host a design podcast at Design Shifters, mentor designers at ADPList, and speak about UX at universities.
