My goal is to find a challenging and exciting full-time position which allows me to fully leverage the skills I

have developed. I have a strong interest in designing products and experiences which fit seamlessly into a

user’s everyday life. I also have a zest for learning new things.

CoPilot Live v9 is packed with features for the user on the

go. As the lead interface designer for (touchscreen) laptop

and iPad products, I took charge in redesigning some of

the most heavily used screens with focus on simplifying

the interface, making it easier and delightful to use without

sacrificing functionality. This application is available for North

America, UK, Germany, France, Spain, and Italy.

Skills used: Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Illustator, XML, hand-

sketching, rapid ideation, icon design, user interface design.

One of the prominent features of CoPilot Live v9 includes

the Speed Limit Alert. I was given the opportunity to improve

this feature, making it more user-friendly and easier to read

while driving. When the user is over the speed limit, the

speed box turns red while displaying the speed at which the

user is going. If the user is under the speed limit, the box

turns blue. Below are other screens I had also worked on.

Skills used: Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Illustator, XML, hand-

sketching, rapid ideation, icon design, user interface design.

Below is a redesign of a CoPilot Live v9 screen with

confusing user interface. On the original design, users were

unaware that when they were selecting a different tab, and

selected ‘Back’, they were selecting and saving a new and

different vehicle preference. Using quick hand sketches,

Photoshop, and XML, I was able to solve this 6-month long

issue in 2 days. Skills used: XML (Notepad C++), Adobe

Photoshop, hand-sketching, rapid ideation.

Within the Generation-Y market segment are users with

a passionate interest in motorcycles and automotive

racing. At the same time, they are conscious of having

minimal impact on the surrounding environment. This

concept car links the emotional thrill of racing and also

takes measures to achieve environmentally friendly

solutions. As a graphic design intern at General Motors

Corporation, I focused on the image branding for this

concept car, RH-2, and also provided guidance in the

design of the vehicle as needed. Skills used: Market

research, branding research, environmental graphics, Adobe

Photoshop/Illustrator, conceptualization, public presentation.

TANG’s first program booklet which describes the

conference in detail, providing answers to many of the most

common questions a new participant may have. This strategy

helped raise the number of members by more than 145%,

from 69 to over 100. This booklet was distributed throughout

NYC, NJ, and the Passport to Taiwan festival in Union Square

in 2011. Skills used: Adobe Illustrator, Adobe InDesign, print

design, branding, logo design, color.

One of the biggest areas of TANG that needed improvement

was its website, tangeneration.org. The current website

presents information in a disorganized manner, userflow

didn’t feel intuitive in many areas, and didn’t reflect the

current and future needs of the rapidly growing organization.

After reworking the information architecture, I created

these wireframe mockups to illustrate what the interface

might look like. Skills used: Adobe Illustrator, rapid ideation,

information architecture, UX, userflow, wireframe
