I’M KELLY.
PASSIONATE DESIGNER & COLLABORATOR.
As a UX designer, I have 4 years of experience working on many data-driven products. I specialize in designing clear and actionable insights as well as data visualization which helps users make informed decisions efficiently.
I am passionate about optimizing the product development process, while communicating and collaborating with product teams to maximize design impact. With this, I focus on keeping the process agile and efficient to support business needs and maintain competitiveness.
I am experienced in facilitating design reviews with stakeholders from senior to CVP levels, articulating design rationale, and storytelling with prototypes to gain stakeholder buy-in.
Most recently, I collaborated to design a new product from the ground up, the "Microsoft Copilot Dashboard.” This involved exploring and reevaluating the direction of our concepts and refining products based on data and user feedback.
Moreover, in the era of generative AI, thoughtful planning and support are essential to empower individuals to embrace AI benefits. My mission within the Microsoft Copilot Dashboard team is to provide tools that support organizations in their AI transformation: enhancing adoption, engagement, productivity, and performance.

Product icon design for Microsoft Clarity
Clarity is a behavior analytic tool, it captures how people use your site. The product icon is an ice mountain. The ice is transparent and clear just like providing clarity on user behavior.
The mountain communicates stability and reliability. The cutting is like a path: Clarity provides effective tools for website owners to get to the top of the mountain, to have clarity on user behavior and needs.
