Hello! I'm Chris, Sr. UX designer at SPINS, a wellness & data analytics company for consumer-packaged goods (CPG). I design dashboards and web apps that helps retailer and brands make data-driven business decisions.
I have 9 years of total experience in UX design, visual, research, and data visualization. I also have earned a Master's in Design from Shu-Te University in Taiwan and received my UX Certification from 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.
