design like there's no ceiling
My early start as an illustrator and a graphic designer outlined my passion for creating visual experiences. My favorite design work out there tells a compelling story and goes beyond what's expected. To rise beyond the ceiling, you need to establish the foundation of needs/perspectives and bring a touch of imagination.
And so, studying UX/HCI at UC San Diego was a logical next step to make well-rounded design work. That is why I’m particularly excited to make a difference in creative industries where I can shape product strategy, visual design, and brand storytelling.
Here’s what I’m currently up to:

senbazuru 千羽鶴 • (the act of folding 1,000 paper cranes)
Design is inherently profound, much like the concept behind senbazuru. Real change doesn’t come from simply folding paper. Curious enough, why put in the effort to begin with?
Dare I say that’s already a given. Rather, the act of folding reaffirms what instills us with passion, leading us to believe that we have the power to manifest anything into existence. Cranes, folded 1 by 1, symbolize the sum of our dedication to solving our problems and reaching our goals.
Deep down, this is what drew me to design: manifesting impact. Revisiting this idea of iteration and reflection made me fall in love with the craft again. Caring to design 1,000 paper cranes is a process, but designing the 1,001th, the 10,000th—the 1,000,000th marks a lifelong pursuit of fulfillment.
