b. 1986, HK.

I worked as a Graphic Designer at Thrasio in Houston, Texas. Thrasio buys Amazon FBA businesses to continue excelling their growth. Thrasio is the fastest US company to reach $1B valuation, also known as unicorn status. The creative team worked like an agency, taking requests from brand managers. My favorite types of projects were full rebrands, including new logos.

My background is in Design, Psychology, and Art. I believe by understanding human behaviors and thoughts, we can design better experiences for consumers and users.
