Hey there! I’m

Hey there!

I'm

Rain.

I'm a recent graduate from UC San Diego with a double major in Interaction Design and Communication.


Growing up with a passion for creating—whether through writing, graphic design, or filmmaking—I eventually found product design to be the perfect blend of functionality and beauty, where I can transform complex problems into seamless, empowering solutions. With my background in HCI and marketing, I strive to balance user experience with business goals, crafting designs that foster meaningful connections and empower communities.


My name, Rain, comes from the last character of my Chinese name (雨). In many ways, it feels like my parents' quiet prophecy for my life and career—to bring ease and delight in the most subtle, natural way possible.
