What books do you recommend?
I'm currently loving 'Creativity, Inc.' by Ed Catmull. It's brimming with wisdom and leadership insights from years of working with creatives. While an easy read, each anecdote packs punchy nuggets of wisdom that I've found myself revisiting multiple times. 📚 A quote I like is, "Fail early and fail fast." Failure is inevitable! Another good read is 'Information Architecture' co-authored by Jorge Arango. 
What is your superpower?
My superpower is enthusiastic positivity. I see the best in people and genuinely believe most are super cool humans I’d love to befriend. I enjoy spontaneously meeting strangers and am not afraid to strike up a conversation or come up with creative solutions on the spot 💪✨
When not designing, what do you do?
I've been tutoring English to Chinese students online since the pandemic (5 years now!). It's so rewarding to see them progress and gain confidence 😌
What is a creative rule you love breaking?
I secretly love turning off auto-alignments 🫣 There’s something delightfully human about manually tapping the arrow keys back and forth to reach that perfect optical spacing. I get a kick out of knowing only I can see the imposter who’s intentionally, perfectly off-center.
