AS A DESIGNER, I AM THE VISUAL TRANSLATOR TO THE UNIVERSAL LANGUAGE OF IDEAS.

As an adopted Chinese-Canadian raised in Montréal, I bring authentic cultural insight to global campaigns. Having lived and traveled across multiple continents, I understand diverse markets and audiences intimately. My work spans leading brands including Canada Goose, Lexus, Bell, American Express, Subway, Maxi, Van Houtte, and Food & Drink Magazine, and more.

In my spare time, I am sipping on tea while knitting, stretching and breathing through yoga, and dancing with my dog while listing to 70s salsa music.

3. Kabrita
LINK

4. Canada Goose x Courchevel

The coldest country builds the warmest community. Canada Goose brought its iconic parkas to a Courchevel gondola lounge, creating an immersive experience for luxury skiers who refuse to compromise. From frozen Canadian landscapes to pristine Alpine peaks, our heritage speaks for itself. When you're built for the harshest winters on earth, everywhere else feels like home. Welcome to where Canadian expertise meets Alpine luxury.

6. Flaco & Mom

A beloved pupusería lacked cohesive branding, struggling to stand out in a competitive market and appear professional to potential customers. I honored Salvadoran roots while resonating with modern diners through warmth, vibrant color, and authentic storytelling and developed a comprehensive brand system—including logo and menu design that bridged cultural tradition with contemporary aesthetics, ultimately building customer trust and lasting recognition.
