My international background helped me adapt and learn. Growing up in Kaohsiung, Taiwan, and inspired by my father's work in Japan, I aimed to study abroad. I attended Seoul National University of Science and Technology for Visual Design and later worked at Taiwan's Youth Salon, using design to showcase career paths to young people.
In 2018, I left my brand designer job in Taiwan to travel to South Korea, Japan, Mexico, Cuba, and the USA. I aimed to share my designs more widely and make a bigger impact. During my trip, I met an engineer, a PM, and a product designer. This inspired me to expand my design skills to digital design to reach a global audience.
My background is in graphic and brand design, where I specialized in creating visual assets for corporations. In 2016, I led a website redesign project that significantly improved event booking rates, which showed me how even the smallest design choices can make a big impact. In 2018, I moved to San Francisco to pursue my Master's degree in Web Design & New Media at the Academy of Art University, where I expanded my passion for design into digital experiences.
My secret to longevity in design is immersing myself in nature. It teaches humility and the importance of continuous learning. While I use technology to innovate, nature reminds me of my humanity and helps me find joy in life's inconveniences.
