Hey there 你好!


This is Mingjin/铭津. I graduated from UC San Diego with a major in Cognitive Science and a minor in Urban Planning. I'm currently a first-year master student in Human-Centered Design Engineering at University of Washington.


Growing up in China, exchanged in La Reunion, lived in San Diego and now based in Seattle, I'm interested in fostering communication to create a sense of belonging and inclusivity within diverse communities.

As a UX Researcher, I hope to cultivate experiences that empower individuals to embrace their unique identities, express their personalities, and find inspiration.
