On a more personal note…

I’ve always been an observer of the world, noticing details, studying structure, and imagining how to capture it in a piece of art. That same curiosity nearly led me into science. I began college studying microbiology with art as a minor, until professors encouraged me to switch paths. I studied graphic design and illustration, but a required computer art class introduced me to 3D where I thrived.

As I grew professionally, I realized what drives me most isn’t just creativity but problem-solving. I like to create with purpose. Every project starts with asking: What needs to be communicated? How can it be clear and effective? This mindset guides my process and allows me to architect solutions, which I believe is my strength as a designer.

Outside of work, value a simple, peaceful life. After college, I traveled through several countries in Europe, and returned a couple of times in my early career, eventually spending a year in Albania during the pandemic, where I became engaged to my husband. Now we’ve settled into a quieter rhythm in the U.S. while enjoying smaller trips here and there. I recharge through time outdoors, journaling, thoughtful conversations, and good stories whether in dramas, books, manga, or a movie night at home.
