I have an obsession for perfection, a passion for creativity and a constant craving for food. I love all expressive forms of thoughts and arts. If I’m not moving pixels, licking my chopsticks or shooting people, I’m probably on the Internet looking at pictures of Japanese dwarf flying squirrels, a tiny hamster eating a tiny burrito, or a bunny wearing a backpack.

So they said we needed education. I am currently pursuing a degree in advertising at The University of Texas at Austin, aspiring to be an Art Director. I am also in the Texas Creative program where I learn how to be thick-skinned, make pretty arts, and talk about big ideas.

Big Ideas. This is what slave for, breathe for, live for.

I’ve always been a curious person. My strength is my relentless pursuit of understanding. I never accept an answer, but continue to probe, to question, to research. Thus, my inquisitive mind keep me moving forward, leading me down new paths. As a designer, I might see flaws, inefficiencies, and inconsistencies all around me; however, as a designer, I envision improvement, purpose, integrity, and beauty.
