Finding people who truly get you is the best feeling. However, I didn’t have that as a child. Growing up gay in a traditional Chinese household, my queerness wasn’t considered “normal” by kids from school or my family. I was constantly aware of how I was perceived and made choices to appear “not gay,” even though I had no idea what it meant to be “straight.” Then, I realized what was “normal” for others didn’t fit with who I was. I needed to find my tribe, people who could share in my experiences and accept me for who I was. This applies to my designs as well. Whether it involves packaging or branding development, I strive to create designs that forge an emotional connection with my audience. I want to help you bring your vision to life and connect you with your tribe.
