Scope & Role

From 2022 to 2025, I led design for Pluto TV’s account and registration ecosystem — covering sign-up, sign-in, device linking, settings, and cross-platform authentication across mobile, web, and connected TV.

Business Impact

Over three years, I partnered with Product and Engineering to redesign flows that drove registered users from 10% to 43% and increased registered viewing minutes by 47%.

Design Focus

My focus was to build clarity and consistency at scale — turning a fragmented multi-device experience into a cohesive, accessible system used by over 80 million viewers worldwide.

How I work

How I turn collaboration, systems, and outcomes into real business impact.

Collaborative by default

I work closely with designers, product managers, and engineers — not just to hand things off, but to make sure what we design together actually feels right in the end product. Whether we’re refining flows or debugging visual polish, I care as much about the shipped experience as the Figma file.

Systems over Silos

I collaborate across teams to make sure design decisions are considered at the right altitude — from individual features to the full platform scale. My goal is to align every designer and stakeholder around a cohesive system, so we’re building consistent experiences rather than isolated screens.

Design That Moves the Business

I measure design success the same way the company does — by its impact on growth, retention, and efficiency. My goal is to make design an executive-level conversation, not a service function. I help teams turn better user experiences into measurable revenue and engagement gains.

About me

A bit more about the person behind the pixels.

I was born and raised in Taipei, Taiwan, and — somewhat by chance — found my way to the Washington, D.C. area, which has been my home for nearly a decade. Moving between cultures taught me to design with empathy and clarity, no matter the audience.

I’m an ENTJ — naturally drawn to structure, clear goals, and collaboration that gets things done.

Outside of work, I’m a hockey defenseman and a beginner fisherman. Time on the ice or by the water keeps me grounded, helps me stay patient, and gives me space to think clearly.
