(About)

Is thinking about why soccer isn't more popular in the US

Is focusing on design that serves people, not just products

Is loving anchovies that come in lovely tins

I’m a multidisciplinary designer working across brand, web, and the systems behind them. I build cohesive brand identities from the ground up, translate strategy into polished assets, and handle the back-end work that brings it all to life. I also help lead a Bay Area nonprofit serving immigrant and refugee communities.

    What I've been up to

    • Setting up restaurants

      I've been loving taking a break from staring at a computer and using my hands to help my sister open two restaurants, in Marseille and Mexico City.

    • Sustainable living

      Exploring sustainable living and sustainable materials with Milton in London and upstate New York.

    • The Giro

      Catching my favorite cycling race in Italy.

    • Tiny Love Story

      Check out my Tiny Love Story about my parents on the NYT.

    • NYC Marathon

      I recently ran the NYC marathon with the Alzheimer's Association in honor of my mom.

    • AANHPI Innovation

      In January 2025, I was one of 4 winners to receive an award under the White House AANHPI Innovation competition to prevent Asian Hate. The idea was to create culturally safe spaces for the AANHPI community in the bay area to process hate crime experiences through familiar activities like karaoke, Tai Chi, and shared meals, recognizing that cultural comfort, not formal reporting structures, is what opens the door to disclosure. Alongside these weekly sessions, I ran public forums with law enforcement, mental health professionals, and community speakers to build broader awareness and normalize reporting across Alameda County.
