MY STORY
Having studied Visual Communications & Graphics on the East Coast, I began my career designing visuals for marketing collaterals. My skills landed me a job in Los Angeles, where I created 2D-3D gaming graphics as well as visuals and special effect graphics for Episodic TV and feature film.
After working on a few empathy-centric interactive design projects, I found a new passion for my visual craft and human-centered design. In 2019, I earned a UX-UI Design certification with CalArts.
My diverse technical skills and creative background helped me develop a super eye for fine details, a drive for trend-setting innovations and dedication for delivering high quality craftsmanship － all precursors for my User Experience Design projects.
I've also volunteered for Meals on Wheels as well as Food Drive volunteer events in Los Angeles. It's in my nature to reach out to help others and give back to community.
To keep my creative skills fresh and high-energy, I playing guitar, painting abstracts, read and hike trails.
