WHAT MAKES YOU FEEL INSPIRED?

Interdisciplinary exploration. Before I went to the design school, I thought most “design” was done by one person and usually had a specific category, such as product design, graphic design, and architecture design. But my experience collaborating with people from different fields in design school has enriched my mind. Design is a tool, a way of thinking, and developing a good design requires interdisciplinary exploration.

WHAT AREA OR AREAS OF DESIGN ARE YOU HOPING TO WORK IN OR SPECIALIZE IN?

I aspire to specialize in art direction and creative strategy within advertising agencies. Additionally, I aim to contribute to smaller studio environments, leveraging my skills to cultivate the growth and success of emerging businesses.
