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.
