About Me

Hi, I’m Gini.

I go by Li Gini in design work.

I’m a frontend-leaning UX designer with a background in development and a strong focus on user-centered thinking. I enjoy designing intuitive, minimal, and purposeful interfaces — and building them too. My tools range from Figma to React and Tailwind CSS.

I'm currently seeking opportunities where I can design with empathy, develop with care, and continue growing as a hybrid designer-engineer.
