As a visual designer, I believe the best way to truly understand who I am is through visuals. Nevertheless, let me attempt to convey the essence of my eclectic personality through words! Glimpsing at the girl in the photograph on the left, it was clear even then that a career in the creative industry was destined for me. I’m still not quite sure whether it's the love of all things color or the constant karaoke that gave it away.
Since that picture was taken, a few things haven't changed much – my hair and my undying love for Abba. But today, I would describe myself as an organized maximalist, constantly seeking fresh challenges and creative pursuits. In some cheesy in-class activity, I found three words to sum up my personality: Handy, Sparkling, and Inquisitive, with honorable mentions go to sunny, thrifty, and curly.
As a designer, my goal is to help you figure out what you want and make it happen. And if you have no clue, that's cool too! It just gives me another chance to dive into my favorite activity – being creative. So, let's create something amazing together!
