Who
I am originally from Philadelphia but I've grown up mostly in China. After high school, I came to California for college and have been here ever since. I was never really into art or design until my mother forced me to choose a major in college and since film (my first choice) was too expensive, computer programming was too boring, and reading seemed too time-consuming, I randomly chose graphic design.

And what a choice that was.

I have since graduated from California State University of Long Beach in Studio Art emphasis Graphic Design and have worked in various agencies and companies as a graphic designer, art director, web designer, photographer, etc.

I've gone from quitting my full-time job as an Art Director to a full-time starving artist/freelancer to wedding photographer and now I am back working in advertising as a Digital Art Director at an agency in downtown Los Angeles. I also volunteer at various institutions and organizations as a Creative Director and photographer.

I love creative people. I love to connect with them, listen to them, hang out with them, dream with them and just be around them. I want to be your friend.

I believe life is very short and every minute must be harnessed to do what we have a passion for. And I believe that as creatives, together we can make amazing things happen whether it impacts an individual for just a moment or change the world for the better.

The world is out there. Ripe and ready for the taking. Go out and get it.
Why
I believe advertising and the arts shape culture and our minds to such a degree that influence in today's world is not held at the hands of politicians, business moguls, or the intellectuals (though they do exert power) but rather in the pen and concept of the creative.

We tell you what to buy, why this "thing" is good, where to go, make you feel, and take you away from reality and into fantasy. We are the gatekeepers of today's culture.
