Hi, I'm Emai! 👋 
I'm a Boston-based UX / product designer with experience designing for education, media, and technology. I'm currently at Amplify creating literacy games and digital assessments to enhance K-5 learning. My mission is to create experiences that inspire and empower students, artists, and storytellers.

Outside of work, I’m a filmmaker, photographer, music lover, and travel enthusiast! I believe these interests lead to unique skills I can bring to the table:
A photographer’s eye
My 8 years of photography experience have sharpened my eye for good color, framing, and composition in my designs. I have hundreds of portrait sessions and live events under my belt, and you can currently find me with a camera at weddings, graduations, or music concerts.
A filmmaker's love for storytelling
Ask me about the latest film I’ve worked on! I have production experience on sets from small independent films to Marvel Studios movies. I love collaborating with other creatives and bringing underrepresented stories to life, especially those featuring Asian American identities. Learn more at the button below!
An explorer’s curiosity
Although I was born and grew up in Massachusetts, I love adventuring beyond the familiar and believe the best stories live right outside your comfort zone. Since graduating college, I’ve explored and worked remotely in over 12 different cities around the US. Ask me where I’m headed next!
