My Story
“Life only gets harder” is a sentiment I try to follow. Doing hard things mean stepping outside my comfort zone, and is one of the best ways I can learn and change into a better person.
Growing up, I loved to draw and invent fictional cities and corporations, and tinker with tech. This transformed into a passion for art and technological innovations. I'm glad I found myself entering the design field as it fit into both passions - creating something new and being able to make it real.
I approach design in that it is not only about creating an appealing product for an audience, but also creating meaningful, sustainable relationships with them through technology.
- I collaborate with teammates to generate, bounce, and improve ideas;
- I bring design insights through research, observation, and understanding of the subject matter;
- I prototype quickly－even with new tools－to get feedback.
Interests ⛰🏋️🛸
My curiosity drives me to go hiking, biking and exploring the mountains, coasts, and neighbourhoods. God gives me strength to do the best I can, so I also volunteer at my church, managing the A/V and designing posters and invitations (a great place for me to get better at visual design). At home I’m drawn to video games (and tv shows), particularly in the genres of sci-fi and simulation. Currently my favourites are: Valheim, Satisfactory, The Expanse
