The story of my life begins with 2:
2 cultures,
2 languages,
and 2+ senses of self.
Living with a mother who immigrated from Taiwan and a dad who grew up in Florida has shaped everything that I am today. With a mother who told me to start thinking about college when I was 10, high expectations were constant. "Be a doctor! If not that, be a nurse! You don't like science? Be a business major!" Everything she threw at me, I could not and would not pursue because none of it had anything that involved my passions.
And then I remembered: I loved drawing.

HGTV
=
a revelation
Watching shows about decorating a room or a landscape was just so beautiful to me. I was well aware that HGTV was also a semi-false reality in which the disagreements between client and designer were cut and the rooms may have not looked as good as the camera made it. However, I expect that every field has its cons.
And so my story begins. After studying abroad in Florence, Italy for 3 months and coming to UC Davis to receive my bachelor's in Design, I am ready to take the next step into the realm of design.
Or perhaps it's 2 steps:
1 towards Visual Communications
1 towards Interior Architecture
We will see where these steps shall take me.
