Home never stayed still. 🏝️Saipan. 🕊️Xiamen. 🇨🇳Beijing. 🇰🇷Seoul. ☔Seattle. I didn’t always plan it, and I didn’t always love it, but it unexpectedly taught me how much I enjoy exploring new places, meeting different people, and collecting stories that spark real moments of connection.
As a designer, I'm relentlessly curious, resilient when things break, and obsessed with understanding why people do what they do.
How I think about design at a fundamental level…
Beyond pixels
Design isn't pixels. It's substance, purpose, meaning.
Hunt the unsaid
Design for the love of it, think of the unspoken needs.
Messy progress
The path isn't linear, obvious, or comfortable.

Diverse music taste, obsessive listening. One song on repeat until ruined. (some I protect from myself)

What keeps me going
My all-time favorite quote. It reminds me to stay fluid & curious, even when everything feels impossible.
Other days
I build tiny furniture for tiny rooms nobody lives in. My eyesight hates me.
Too many latte art attempts = always over-caffeinated.
I chase moments, not destinations. Travel when I can, collect stories always.
