Hi, I'm Tutu,
a designer and maker.

I've spent 8+ years helping teams connect people to AI that actually makes sense. I ship from MVP to scale, with the team, in the ambiguity, figuring it out as we go.

A few things I've shipped
2026

Conversational Finance

First designer on a chat-based financial analysis tool for FP&A teams. I took a technical prototype built outside the product team, defined the design framework, and explored what conversational UX means for enterprise from the ground up.

Design Systems at Scale

Redesigned and extended the design system for our conversational finance product. I also led the charting library, defining rules and components that made data both accurate and insightful for internal teams and external clients.

Risk Estimation Tool

Sole designer on a tool that helps insurance underwriters track emerging and ongoing risks buried in unstructured data. I went from a vague problem statement to a defined MVP through user research and close collaboration with engineers and the client.

AI Monitoring Dashboard

Designed key workflows for data scientists to monitor model performance, investigate root causes, and take confident action. The focus was on reducing noise so users could quickly identify what actually mattered.

A few experiences I've made
2026

SF Design Week Award Exhibition

Co-designed and built the award exhibition for SF Design Week with Mia He. We took Pact Studio's "Multitudes" visual language and translated it into three dimensions, assembling 70 modular cardboard boxes across three San Francisco venues. I conceived and hand-crafted the interactive doors on each box, inviting visitors to discover the work of 23 award recipients and 10 honorable mentions. Two designers, one month.

In the Balance

Designed two interactive installations with John Wegner, Weichung Joong, Sida Li, and The Perennial restaurant to make food carbon footprints tangible. A human-size scale with 200+ weighted cubes let visitors physically feel the CO2 difference between ingredients. A companion rotating table revealed dramatically different food volumes at the same CO2 cost. Shown at Asian Art Museum, California Academy of Science, and three other San Francisco venues.
