My design background introduced me to my love for typography and I think it translates to a lot of the art I enjoy making—a marriage of precision and feeling. The combination helps me get into a flow state where I can work through my thoughts and emotions. With the selection of colours I use, the result can be seen as minimalist or maximalist (depending on who you are) but either way, always playful.

What would you do with $25,000?I would fly home to take my mom on a belated 60th birthday adventure. Then organize my first solo exhibition and buy more supplies to create a collection for it. Save a portion of it for the future and use the rest for creating events that help support my friends and community's creative ventures.
