Hey there, I’m Lian.
A Senior UX Designer with 12+ years across higher education, government, healthcare, and enterprise B2B.
Working on in-house teams, at agencies, and at a consultancy has made me a versatile designer. I move fluidly from research and strategy through high-fidelity design and front-end coding, and I care as much about how things look as how they function. I bring an accessibility rigor that a lot of designers skip, and I’m at my best on complex projects where requirements are messy and stakeholder alignment matters.
I aim for the balance between what users need, what the business needs, and what’s actually buildable.
