About Sydney

B. 2003

I'm a creative thinker by heart - my journey began with a sketchbook and paintbrush. I’ve been practicing fine arts since I was four, exploring everything from drawing and oil painting to Chinese calligraphy. Over the years, these practices sharpened my eye for detail and deepened my appreciation for form and composition. 

I value beauty in many forms — I find it in the mountains, a cup of coffee, typography, architecture, photography — and I’ve spent years building my taste and discovering what truly speaks to me.

Whether I’m working on a product or a visual system, I care about building experiences that are thoughtful, functional, and meaningful. As a first-gen daughter in my family, I’ve always been driven to solve problems not just for myself, but for the people around me. To me, design is a tool for change—one that listens, adapts, and serves the people it’s built for. It’s how I bridge empathy and innovation to make everyday experiences more humane.
