Hi! I’m Gaozong

I am an early career UX/UI designer embarking on a new journey after a decade as an optician in healthcare, client services, and luxury eyewear. My transition into UX design affords my unique experience a chance to shine: combining the precision of science and the creativity of design to produce compelling narratives & user experiences that captivates visually and functions intuitively.

I am excited to collaborate with cross-disciplinary stakeholders and apply my diverse skills to bring fresh insights, critiques, and enthusiasm to UX design.

Gaozong beyond UX

Currently pursuing my passion projects such as:

Learning French:
Aside from already knowing Hmong, English, and Spanish, I am now endeavoring my multi-lingual journey to France.

Playing the Guitar:
Being multi-lingual I enjoy learning new musical instruments as another form of language to express myself.

Adventures with In-door Rock climbing:
Rocking Climbing taught me how to strategically think several moves ahead, while also pushing myself mentally and physically to my limits.
