A bit about me…
I am a graduate from UC Davis and I majored in Design and Cinema Digital Media. I have a background in visual graphics and illustrations. I enjoy creating flavorful & friendly designs that bring people joy!
I’m actively learning about brand design and strategies to uphold brand values and goals.
When I’m not designing, I am reading a book, watching a movie, or hibernating with my stuff animals.
Currently Reading: I Who Have Never Known Men by Jacqueline Harpman
What is the logo? It’s a tofu!
My nickname in my family is "cold tofu" because I would get cold very easily due to bad blood circulation. This nickname stuck with me because tofu is one of my favorite foods as it can be found in many forms of dishes. There are many ways to prepare tofu because it's a versatile food that soaks in flavor well.
Like a block of tofu, I want to be a multifaceted designer who absorbs knowledge, trends, and changes to create flavorful designs that are accessible and universal for many people.
(P.S. tofu ice cream is a must-try!)
Design Philosophy
-
At times, we might run into a dead-end situation. It's essential to take a step back and reflect on our steps to redirect ourselves to a better solution. Even though we are not progressing forward, we are assessing ourselves and taking actions towards improvements.
-
As designers, we are designing for the people. And we understand people by listening to their experiences to open room for collaborations and connections. Not only would we be better communicators, but we also know their needs and wants to formulate a framework for design.
-
As designers, we all fall in love with our own ideas. But ‘kill your darlings’ is a reminder I keep close: attachment can’t override clarity. When I remove the elements I love but don’t need, the design becomes more honest. The message sharpens, the layout breathes, and the work becomes exactly what it needs to be.
Going so soon? Let’s connect!
