The tea on me 🍵

Hey, I'm Cathy! I am a Digital Product Designer from Toronto, Canada, who focuses on making the world a better place with accessible, user-friendly designs 🤍 I recently graduated with a Bachelor's degree in the Global Business and Interaction Design program at the University of Waterloo.

My design process grows from shared stories and meaningful connections. I pay attention to the small, often overlooked moments that reveal who we are. Curiosity and care guide how I explore the ways that designing can reflect and support real human experiences. The people I meet and the stories they share influence and inspire me to design in a way that fosters connection.
