︎︎︎ ABOUT ME
I am a 🆒 Asian American creative with a background in graphic design, illustration, and animation. Currently, I’m working at Adobe as a ︎Visual Content Designer in New York City alongside my coworkers of two very chatty cats.
My work reflects a wide array of adaptive storytelling, personal investigations of the duality of my Asian American experience, and a light-hearted playfulness. I bring an upbeat enthusiasm to systems-thinking—creating cohesive, scalable, and consistent design solutions across products and platforms. ✧˖°
︎︎︎ SKILLS & INTERESTS
Creative strategy, art direction, social impact initiatives, brand & identity, design systems, cinemagraphs, mentorship, building community, drawing & illustration, speed photoshopping to enhance a joke, the daily nyt mini crossword, and currently in a kombucha era.
