Hey there! I’m a designer who loves turning the seemingly impossible into art. My journey started in the world of STEM and computer science, but I quickly fell in love with the ever-changing world of design. Now, I’m all about finding that sweet spot where creativity meets practicality. 

My work is deeply influenced by my Asian identity, which I embraced after years of navigating the complexities of two very different cultural worlds. While I once saw this as an internal conflict, I’ve come to understand it as a source of strength and inspiration.

I’m the type of person who thrives on a packed schedule and isn’t afraid to roll up my sleeves and dive into a project. My curiosity and adaptability keep me exploring new mediums and pushing boundaries. From launching a duct tape business at 12 to leading a school newspaper, I’ve been blending creativity with organization for as long as I can remember.

When I’m not knee-deep in a project, you’ll find me at the gym, playing League of Legends, or binge-watching TV shows. As someone who grew up playing all kinds of sports (gymnastics, swimming, pole vault, soccer—you name it!), I love a good challenge and I’m all about continuous learning and growth—because if you’re not evolving, what’s the point?

Throughout my experiences, I’ve collected a unique combination of skills in computer science, data analytics, and design. I am extremely proud to have graduated and look forward to continuing to create and design! I am currently working on Google’s UX certification course.
