ABOUT ME

Hi, I'm Ed- an apparel Graphic & Textile designer turned UX designer, raised in New York and now residing in Texas.

 

As a son of migrants, I have always straddled two worlds from a very young age to help my family navigate daily life in an unfamiliar environment. These experiences allowed me to empathize closely with others and have a unique perspective on the daily struggles we all encounter. I have learned that everyone has a story to tell, be willing to listen and observe. 

 

After several years in the fashion industry, my desire for continuous growth and new challenges led me to enroll in graduate school. There, I found a new path that allowed me to combine my life and creative experiences with my love for learning, problem-solving, and research.

 

Currently, I'm looking to expand my experience as a UX designer and focus on continuous learning. 

 

Outside of design, I enjoy exploring new places on my bike and being active with friends and family.

 

I'm always open to collaborating, so feel free to reach out and chat
