from saipan
to los angleles
my industrial design journey started from saipan.
I believe we should make the most of every day we have.
my approach to design is clear: focus on what matters most and give it your all. with every project, I push myself further, always aiming to create something special.
industrial design
I fell in love with industrial design in eighth grade when I realized that my creations could positively impact lives worldwide.
passion
grew up on Saipan, a small island where learning about design wasn't easy.
from books to videos, practicing my drawing and design skills every chance I got.
artcenter
all those late nights of practice paid off when I got accepted to ArtCenter, one of the best design schools in the world. Now that I'm here, I put my whole heart into learning to perfect my work.
not giving up
my journey taught me that hard work always leads somewhere good.
starting from a tiny island, I turned my dream into reality through dedication and never giving up.
for fun
apart from design, I've always loved creative storytelling — planning, storyboarding, filming, and editing short films and music videos. It’s been my passion since I was young.
