MORE ABOUT ME
Beyond design
Where I'm from -
What I do -
Fun fact -
I spent my childhood in Taipei, Taiwan, my teens in Vancouver, BC — and now I'm kick-starting my twenties in a city none other than Toronto, ON!
Outside of work, I try to maintain consistent design practice. You can probably find me drawing, designing nails, curating my many Pinterest boards, among a million other artistic hobbies.
My favorite thing to do is to eat (my stomach is like a black hole), so you can always count on me for restaurant recommendations in the city! It probably doesn't hurt to mention that I love video games, reality shows, and fashion!
PHILOSPHY
I believe design is..
a friend,
a bridge,
a superpower,
Design doesn’t just know you but gets you. In moments of frustration, design actively seeks out solutions that uniquely serve your struggle. I’m a firm advocate for sensitivity and empathy (in both life and design!) and center my work around a deep understanding of people.
Design happens in conversation with others! I’m always seeking opportunities in intersectionality: I love learning from designers and non-designers alike to better inform my craft and my ability as a collaborator.
- and with great power, comes great responsibility. Design is an instrument of influence that must be wielded with intention. I think deeply about what I want my design to achieve and only until it delivers upon its purpose do I sign my work.
