Biography
- About MeI am currently a Design Media Arts major and Film and Television minor at UCLA. Although I was born in Eau Claire, Wisconsin, a city of about 65,000 people, I was brought up in Hong Kong, the most densely populated place on earth. Here, I attended an International School and met hundreds of amazing people from all over the world. I have one older brother, Calvin, and arguably the best parents in the world.I grew up in a household where gadgets were replaced faster than milk cartons. It was here, in this metropolitan city that I began to take an interest in design and how it can influence the world around us. It is the blend of new technology and visual design incorporated into the real world that I find most intriguing.
My dream is to use my talents to influence the world in an awe-inspiring way. Ultimately, I believe that it is the art around us, incorporated into our daily lives, that makes life so vivid and refreshing.

Banksy's latest piece splattered on the back of Urban Outfitters in Westwood, Los Angeles this week. The piece evokes a sense of corrupted innocence which is portrayed through a child soldier depicted in an elementary style background drawing. Incredibly thought provoking piece. The graffiti has created controversial stir about whether or not it should be sprayed over and resurfaced.
