I’m a sharp professional designer with 5+ years of experience in the creative industry, most significantly from OMA*AMO, the design firm/think tank of the architect and frequent collaborator with Prada, Rem Koolhaas. Before moving to NYC, I studied Literature and Visual Arts at University of Chicago, where my natural curiosity was refined to ask questions such that human life, both mine and others’, could be enriched.

As human interaction with technology grows, with my background, I’m interested in thoughtfully contributing to UX to truly benefit people.

For fun and form
  • I aspire to make impact like great artists from my hometown Chicago.
  • I see the importance and beauty of form from basketball.
  • I find inspiration for storytelling and illustration from graphic novels.
  • I get delight from ice cream, glizzies, and burgers.
