About
I am an artist and designer based in Los Angeles, passionate about connecting culture, craft, and contemporary design. Influenced by both Eastern traditions and modern Western aesthetics, my work explores the intersection of pattern, material, and story. Through surface design, illustration, and packaging, I reimagine cultural symbols in a modern context—blending tactile detail with conceptual meaning. I aim to create designs that are visually captivating, emotionally resonant, and globally relevant in the fields of fashion, art, and consumer product design.
