Hi There👋
Here is Flosum
My pseudonym flosum(花森) originates from both English and Chinese. The syllable "flo" means flowers, and "sum" means forest.
How can girl refuse flowers?
Nice to meet you!
Since I was a child, I've been interested in drawing. I appreciate the idea that the fountainhead of arts is the creative spirit inherent in humans. Drawing is not the only way I express my spirit; I infuse my passion into my UI/UX design and content creation.
I write a Job-hunting Diary on LinkedIn and mentor talents in the design community with 10K+ followers. Join me on LinkedIn! ❤️

What's your work experience?As of May 2025, I have 5 years of experience in product and UI/UX design. I’ve worked with 9 different startups across various industries — wild but fun times! These experiences turned me into a true generalist. I pick up any skills a project needs, fast. Since I often work with early-stage companies, I also take on business consulting and team-building roles. Design is just one part of my work — leadership and shaping team culture are just as important to me.

What's your personality like?I’m an INFJ. I tend to think before I speak, so I might seem quiet at first. I talk a lot during one-on-one convos, but I usually stay quiet if there’s a third person — I love listening. Once I click with someone who shares the same values or interests, though? I can talk forever! P.S. I love cats. A lot. 🐱

What do you do in your free time?It’s pretty obvious from my photos — I’m a gamer at heart! I play a lot of games, like Blade & Soul, LaTale, League of Legends, and all sorts of random games on Steam. But I also love learning — I take entrepreneurship courses and join founder roundtables. On the side, I update my “Job-Hunting Diary” on LinkedIn to support the design community.
-
What's your design/work philosophy?I design products I’d love and actually use myself. I don’t just take any job — I pick ones that are meaningful and create real value. I truly believe skills can be learned, and respect is mutual. I deeply admire people who are capable and driven.
-
Can I have a coffee chat with you?Of course! I regularly host virtual coffee chats with designers at all stages of their journey. After graduation, I hit a lot of bumps in the road — so now I choose to speak up and help others avoid the same struggles. I’m currently a LinkedIn creator with 10K+ followers, and I offer free career advice and emotional support, especially for bootcamp grads and recent college graduates navigating the design world.

About that photo of me...I once used that photo on a social app and it got flagged — I’m taking that as a weird compliment 😅. I’m actually missing a lower tooth, which makes my jaw a bit asymmetrical. I used to feel insecure about how I looked. Because of my facial structure, makeup doesn’t really work for me… so I never learned how to use it! But this is just how I look — and it doesn’t affect my work ethic or my ability to connect with others. P.S. I’m not looking to date. Seriously. No dates, please. 😄

Thanks for visiting my space
Let me tell you a secret
The EM after Flosum is an abbreviation for empty. Imagination and possibilities abound when an empty space exists. There are no limits to what I am capable of.
It was a pleasure telling you my story. I never tell anyone what EM stands for verbally.
Congratulations, you found the easter egg!
