Hi, I'm Kandice!

About me
I'm a multi-disciplinary product/UX professional, currently living in San Jose, CA.
In my free time, I love listening to music, checking out new food spots, taking photos, playing video/board games and cuddling my cats.
Experience
I have 10 years of experience in UX/product design and research, primarily in enterprise and B2B applications. I'm passionate about user empathy, efficient systems, and clean design.
I've worked at both large companies and startups, across many industries, ranging from cloud CDN to enterprise productivity to AML compliance. I have a proven track record of working with globally distributed teams to streamline workflows, build out design systems, and improve platform applications.
