Jay with his twins, Melody and Aurelia

Hello there!

Hi there - my name is Jay. I'm a first-generation Taiwanese-American born and raised in San Jose, California now living in Brooklyn, New York.

Before transitioning to full-time product design, I worked with clients at companies like Pinterest and TuneIn, addressing their ad-spend needs. Now I blend my client-facing experience with design thinking to execute my user-focused strategy that also benefits the organization.

In my free time , I nap with my twin newborn daughters Aurelia and Melody, give treats to my 2 dogs Tipper and Mirabear, yell at my TV during Warriors/49ers games, roll a d20 for initiative, and test new recipes. I am currently writing and drawing a children’s book about my daughters.

My hot food take - I prefer croissants over New York bagels. đŸ„.

Things I'm Currently Consuming (literally and figuratively)

I'm a voracious learner (and eater). Here are a couple of things that are on my mind right now:
