About

b. 1986, HK.

 

Experienced art director focused on telling meaningful stories through type, layout, and illustration.

I’ve worked with with non-profits, startups, and independent publishers. I can spearhead projects from concept to completion, or jump on teams to lend a hand. I design motion graphics, books, brands, and experiences. Whatever the project—I love learning new things, giving shape to ideas, and collaborating with talented people. Currently, I work with the good folks at MasterClass as an art director.

I’m also a mom, twin, and islander. When I’m not at my desk, I like to recharge in natural beauty around my home on Orcas Island, Washington.
