Designing experiences for real people

I’m Shihui, a UX designer specializing in AI-driven healthcare applications. I lead end-to-end design — from research and usability testing to accessible, polished interfaces that clinicians and patients trust.

About

The best design builds trust — especially when the stakes are high.

I’m a Sr. UX Designer at Spectral MD, Inc., where I lead the design of AI-driven wound healing prediction tools for clinical settings. My background spans both Industrial Design (Donghua University) and Human-Computer Interaction (Georgia Tech, GPA 3.75), which gives me a sharp eye for both aesthetics and behavior.

I run focus groups, usability testing, and accessibility audits — then translate what I find into interfaces that work for busy clinicians, older adults, and color-blind users alike. I maintain Figma design libraries across 4 product lines and collaborate closely with engineers to make sure what ships matches what was designed.
