Growing up in an Asian immigrant household with a distant and terminally ill parent, I never had the chance to know my father beyond his illness. Those early experiences shaped my deep curiosity about people — their stories, struggles, and unseen parts of their lives. It taught me to pay attention, listen, and recognize the complexities people carry. I bring that same empathy and attentiveness into my craft. I design to create experiences that are inclusive, accessible, and considerate of the diverse realities people navigate every day.
