15 years in Tibet-China, 8 years in Korea, 1 year in the US, and 6 months in Israel. There isn't much where I haven't been!😉Growing up in an unique environment of Tibetans, Han Chinese and my American friends from international school, my natural instinct was to adapt - to absorb all nuances in language and culture and make them mine. I was pretty good at it. I quickly mastered English and Chinese and easily made friends with people from a rich diversity of cultures. What I didn’t know at the time was that my effort to seamlessly fit into different cultures naturally nurtured an ability to quickly catch and analyze behavioral patterns. This sensitivity towards people’s behaviors has proven to be invaluable in all my ventures. I landed on a gold mine when I changed majors in university to study how to build IT products and businesses using design thinking to solve people’s pain points. It was a constant iteration of discovering people’s needs, building solutions to meet those needs, and finding ways to upgrade the experience.My sensitivity, combined with design thinking, allowed me to uncover meaningful insights about customers that have positively influenced the trajectory of numerous projects. Whether it was developing a business for the visually impaired, marketing a product to assist people in poverty, or creating a product to aid people struggling with personal branding, I was able to make an impact.I hope to continue on this journey that I love, working inside dynamic environments, absorbing new cultures and insights, building new relationships, and applying design thinking principles to create innovative solutions and business models geared toward impact.
