Welcome
Portfolio
​​This portfolio highlights my work in cultural programming and design, including collaborations with the Seattle Japanese Garden, selected case studies, and past client projects. ​
After five years leading public engagement and storytelling initiatives, I’m re-engaging with visual and interaction design—bringing a broader, cross-disciplinary perspective to my practice. My background spans UI/UX, visual systems, and bilingual content development, supported by a Master’s in Interdisciplinary Design with a focus on cross-cultural research and visual communication.
