A little bit about me 🙈
Growing up in international school environments and multicultural communities shaped how I think about communication and audience. Being surrounded by people from different backgrounds taught me to value clarity, accessibility, and thoughtfulness in the way ideas are shared.
My faith is an important part of how I approach design. I see creativity as a gift, and I care about using my skills to serve others, bring joy into everyday moments, and create work that feels honest and meaningful rather than purely aesthetic.
Whether I’m designing a poster, digital graphic, or visual system, my goal is to create work that communicates clearly, feels welcoming, and reflects care for the people it’s meant for.
Current Experience
Chief Tech Officer and Web Designer • 2023 - Current
I focused on improving how student media content is experienced by redesigning website layouts, organizing content more clearly, and building systems that support both readers and editors. Through reusable templates and close collaboration with editorial teams and vendors, I helped create a more consistent and efficient digital and print publishing process.
Peer Advisor & Design and Marketing Intern • 2025 - Current
I worked directly with students while leading the design and visual direction for career-related resources and events on campus. A big part of my role involves brainstorming and creating marketing materials like flyers, email graphics, signage, booth maps, and other visuals that help students engage with career opportunities. I also take and edit professional headshots for students, faculty, and staff to support their LinkedIn profiles. One of the main projects I worked on was the Business and Technology Career and Networking Fair, where I helped design and promote the event and reach 165 students, despite only having 11 employers participating.
Publicist • 2025 - Current
I lead visual communication and social media for SPU's student government, focusing on making campus events and resources more visible and accessible to students. Through consistent design and targeted promotion, I helped grow our social media reach by 1,790 percent while designing posters, flyers, digital assets, and campus merchandise for student organizations and campus-wide events. I also design and distribute Stall Talk, the campus events calendar posted across academic buildings, helping students stay informed about what’s happening on campus
