I'm Uyen!
she/her
Hey! My name is Uyen (as in “win”-ning 💪🏻🏆). A UC Berkeley’s alum with degrees in Cognitive Science & Data Science.
Coming from an underrepresented background and being a first-generation student, I’ve navigated the complexities of growing up where, for much of my life, I felt like I was standing at the edge of a cliff. Discovering my passion for design has not only given me clarity but also the confidence to leap across to the other side.
Design is invisible to the users, but behind the scenes, it taps into the complexity of the human mind. Being able to dig into a wide spectrum of individuals has allowed me to learn more about the diverse perspectives around me.
In my free time, I’m always experimenting with new matcha latte recipes, and I’ll never say no to a concert. I’m also an aspiring vlogger with an endless backlog of footage I haven’t edited yet—but I definitely will soon! :D (this is a lie).
