Growing up in a restaurant as a child to immigrant parents, I was always the one on the phone to pay the bills, ring up the doctor, and 
fight the telemarketer. 
I was the bridge between my household and an unfamiliar society. 
I developed the patience of an observer, and the empathy of a designer to move and mitigate between the needs and wants of both sides. 
I learned to understand the language of expression from drastically different points of views. I developed my own rhythm of understanding and interpreting the common emotions that we share, and the vastly different ways that they are expressed.
As an Art Director I balance my voice in the forms of interactive design, innovation, conceptual ideas, writing, visual imagery, and spatial experience to craft stories of endearing similarities and benevolent differences.
