About Me

Hi, I’m Gini.

I’m from Taiwan, and I love boba milk tea with less ice and 10% sugar🧋.

I’m a UX designer with a background in front-end development and a strong focus on user-centered thinking. I enjoy designing and building intuitive, minimal, and purposeful interfaces.

I’m currently seeking a UX / Frontend internship where I can design with empathy, develop with care, and contribute to meaningful user experiences.
