About

I have had a MFA already, and decided to pursue another Master, as well as a PhD degree in Human Factor & Ergonomics and HCI. I have been striving to achieve the balance between the designer, inventor, and scientist in me. Just like many say that good design comes from a marriage of function and beauty. Fulfilling our emotional needs, and standing for who we are as humans are always my graphic designer life-goal! Until now, I have already had two national awards and Fellowship in Indiana University, as well as University of Minnesota.
