Hi, I’m Xiaomin (晓敏)
Xiǎo 晓 - dawn, know; Mǐn 敏 - keen, sharp, agile.
I like hats. One of my all-time favorites is the user experience designer. Complexity and ambiguity excite me. I enjoy sifting through the chaos and tidying things up. I find joy in seeing possibilities within constraints, and I take pride in turning challenges into opportunities. That’s how I work, how I speak, and how I write.
Another hat I fancy is the Argentine Tango dancer. I dance to meet strangers, connect with friends, and teach and perform with my husband. Just like in crafting design, I love having interactive conversations with people with and without words.
Hailing from the small city of Wuzhou in southern China, proud to be a Michigan Wolverine, I'm now living in Berkeley, California.
Thanks for stopping by.
Writing this "how-to" is a gift for me to celebrate a new beginning, and to create a space to better understand myself and my relationships.
