A glance into
I’ve loved drawing since I was a child. I could spend an entire day shut in my room, completely absorbed in finishing a piece, often talking to myself as I worked. That passion for art led me to major in graphic design, but my curiosity pushed me to explore beyond one field. During my first year at ArtCenter, I took classes in product, transportation, and concept design… Until my second year, I took Interaction Design I, where I first discovered Figma and experienced the entire process from user research to prototyping. That experience: creating new digital experiences to solve real problems, made me realize this was the direction I truly wanted to pursue, so I
shifted my focus to digital product
and UI/UX design.
Drawing is something I’ve loved since I was young! In 7th grade, I often sketched animals and character portraits. This lion was one of those early pieces, and it reminds me how much I enjoyed capturing structure and expression through lines and contrast.
Here’s Cotton! He is two years old and has the softest, roundest face. He’s calm and gentle, never scratches, always runs ahead of me and lies down, waiting to be petted.
