About me.
hello, welcome to my site 👋
The best thing in life is doing what I love while making a good living.
As a child, I found joy in writing and drawing, two passions that shaped my career. Writing became my first profession, taking me from a magazine editor to an overseas correspondent, telling stories of world-renowned artists, contributing to multiple publications, and consulting for international arts organizations. That journey eventually led me to my second career: design.
Since 2020, I’ve been fortunate to collaborate with clients and companies that trust my passion and expertise, spanning multiple industries.
As a product designer, I aim to create products that bring people joy—a way to serve others through thoughtful, meaningful, and delightful design.
