“The best way to predict the future is to create it”
— Peter Drucker (attributed)

This quote beautifully captures my professional pursuits, motivation, and accomplishments in my life. From my experience in software engineering into my transition to graphic design, I love to take concepts from idea to reality. 

About Me

I am a Graphic Design MFA Candidate at ArtCenter College of Design, set to graduate in spring 2025. My undergraduate Computer Science degree led me to six years of experience as a software engineer. Along the way, I discovered my passion for graphic design, particularly branding. With my diverse professional experiences as a foundation, I am excited for my career ahead as a designer. I am highly motivated and always ready to learn.

I’m inspired by

1. Underdogs
2. Walking
3. Conversations
   
4. Music
   
5. Warmth
   

Reminders to myself

1. Focus intensely, rest completely.
   
2. Take more (design) risks.
3. Explore more ideas than required.
   
4. Design is a spiritual practice.
   
5. When in doubt, talk it out.
