A bit about me 👋

A bit about me outside of work…

My Background 🌏

As a Third-Culture Individual, I call many places home:

New York 🗽, Indiana 🏀, the Philippines 🇵🇭 , Singapore 🇸🇬, Hong Kong 🇭🇰 and Japan 🇯🇵

I travel often to see my family and friends around the globe.

My Favorite Project 💫

My graduate thesis at SVA Weighted: Designing Towards Fat Liberation was an exploration of how we might adjust our infrastructure, aesthetics and business models to create a more inclusive world for larger bodies to have greater access to public and social spaces.

Part of this work, "Flex" was featured as part of the Museum für Gestaltung Zürich's Design for All? Diversity as the Norm (2024) exhibition.

My Pastimes 🌸

Right now I'm focused on knitting my first blue sweater 🧶, crying a bit about how close the Pacers were to their first ring 😭, getting back into pilates 🌿 and painting portraits 🎨.

I also started out my career honing skills in graphics for fashion and beauty. Take a peek at my archives 👀

My Education 🎓

I started my graduate program remotely during the COVID pandemic and graduated from SVA’s Products of Design MFA program in 2022.

My Current Venture 📓

I am also the co-founder of a small business called HONORARY KIN that aims to make the journaling process easier through accessible tools and community building.
