My Design Beliefs 🧠💭

Information is Power

As a self-taught illustrator and vocalist, I understand how access to education resources shapes an artist's journey and success. I hope to make information more accessible, digestible, and usable for all.

Craft + Strategy = Impact

My observation in China revealed the dark side of design–anxiety-inducing copies and manipulative UX patterns that cloud judgements and drive emotional overspending.

Without an ethical mission, design risks creating distractions and burdens instead of improving lives. It's our responsibility to direct user engagement to meaningful interactions.

Talent x Effort = Skill… Skill x Effort = Achievement.

Talent x Effort = Skill
Skill x
Effort = Achievement.

Design is a dynamic field that thrives on a growth mindset. I am constantly seeking opportunities to diversify my skill sets, embracing ambiguity and new technologies.

The pain zone is where real growth happens.
