Designing
experiences
for real people
I’m Shihui — a UX designer specializing in AI-driven healthcare. I lead end-to-end design from deep research to polished interfaces that clinicians and patients trust.
AI Wound Healing Prediction Tool
Led end-to-end design of an AI-driven clinical application that predicts wound healing outcomes, enhancing clinician trust through transparent, accessible result visualizations.
Georgia Tech CoC Website Redesign
Led research, synthesis, and design for a navigation overhaul serving 2,000+ daily users — validated through A/B testing and expert heuristic evaluation across 4 dimensions.
Voice Interface Design for Automobile
A research-first master’s project: surveyed 55 real-world cases, ran contextual inquiries and stakeholder interviews, and synthesized findings into design toolkits for in-vehicle voice interaction.
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.
Beyond the screen
When I’m not designing interfaces, I’m usually making something with my hands — or going very fast.
3D Printing
Turning digital models into physical objects. FDM printing to prototype ideas — same problem-solving mindset as UX, just layer by layer.
Biking
Two wheels and open road. Whether cruising trails or exploring the city, it’s where I do my best thinking. My reset button.
Leather Art
Carving, stitching, finishing goods by hand. Working with materials that have texture, weight, and permanence has a meditative quality unlike anything digital.
Crafts
Paper-cutting, mixed media, you name it. Making things with my hands keeps my visual instincts sharp and my patience intact through every iteration.
Formula 1
Engineering precision meets split-second decisions — F1 is basically UX at 220mph. I follow every race, the technical regulations, and the strategy closely.
Good UX is earned through rigor, not assumed from instinct.
I listen before I design
I start by running interviews, shadowing users in context, and reading the data — until the real problem surfaces. Not the stated one. Not the assumed one. The one buried under workarounds and complaints.
I find the shape of the problem
Raw findings need structure. Affinity mapping and IA exercises turn scattered observations into a clear problem statement — something the whole team can design toward, not just the designers.
I design for the edge cases
Wireframes, prototypes, high-fidelity UI — designed for the user who is tired, distracted, color-blind, or just doesn’t behave the way the product assumed they would. Accessibility is a baseline, not a checkbox.
I don’t stop at handoff
I run usability tests after launch, review QA builds against the spec, and flag when implementation diverges from intent. The design isn’t done until the experience matches what was intended — and every session generates the next iteration.
Let’s make something
worth clicking on.
I’m most energized by hard problems — healthcare products, AI interfaces, voice interaction, research-heavy work where design decisions carry real stakes. If that sounds like your project, I’d love to hear about it.
