About
I was born in Taichung, Taiwan but spent my formative years in the United States. Shortly after graduating from university, I retired from my illustrious career as a cost accountant and traveled back to my homeland where I taught English to young learners and freelanced as a graphic designer. During this time, I was offered an apprenticeship as a web designer. Excited about what was then a “new” medium, I quickly jumped at the opportunity of “learning the ways” under the guidance of a scraggily-haired, green tea drinking Yoda – my former boss who taught me website design in exchange for teaching him conversational English.
Since then, I’ve had several opportunities in working as an interactive designer for a number of companies and firms, and managed to get an illustration book entitled ‘Brownie’ published during my spare time.
Besides freelancing, I currently serve as an art director for the commercial design firm Ming Island. I enjoy the simple pleasures in life such as traveling, riding my motorcycle and playing hide and seek with my daughter.
