Hi, I'm Vivian !

I graduated from the University of Washington in Seattle with a degree in Human Centered Design & Engineering (HCDE) with a focus in Human Computer Interaction (HCI).


My design journey began in high school, when I started a small business creating logos, t-shirts, and stickers for real clients. Each client came with a story, and learning those stories showed me how design can be deeply personal and impactful. From there, I got more into product design through internships, design classes, research projects and I've loved every second!


Right now, I'm a product designer @NBCUniversal↗ working on GolfNow, one of the largest golf apps.


Apart from design, I'm very passionate about accessibility. At UW, I led HuskyADAPT, a club focused on accessible play technology, and worked as a web accessibility consultant at UW-IT. Accessibility has always been a big part of how I think about design, why create something if not everyone can use it?


I am always eager to grow in order to better myself and the community around me. I value inclusivity, creativity, and joy, bringing these into everything I design.

I'm a senior at the University of Washington in Seattle, majoring in Human Centered Design & Engineering (HCDE) with a focus on Human Computer Interaction (HCI). I am also double minoring in business and global health. Currently, I am a UX designer at Ancestry , designing on the growth team.


On the side, I lead HuskyADAPT , a club dedicated to accessible design and play technology. I also work at University of Washington IT as an web accessibility consultant, helping ensure accessibility across all UW websites. Accessibility should be a given in design, why create an experience if not everyone can use it?


I am always eager to grow in order to better myself and the community around me. I value inclusivity, creativity, and joy, bringing these into everything I design.

A bit about my experiences.
