Before digital design, I was a womenswear designer at houses such as The Row, Thakoon, Elie Tahari, and
Rebecca Taylor. I designed products for both Asian and North American brands while realizing
ideas with both the consumer and business in mind.
During my time as an apparel designer, I noticed the lack of user experience while conducting
brand research. I started developing websites and came to the realization that I was passionate about UX and visual design.
As a personal manifesto, I firmly believe in content over "Lorem Ipsum". Great design requires context before creation.
