I'm a writer and designer living in New York. In 2008, I left my job in advertising with little semblance of a plan—all I knew was I wanted to make things, rather than write ads for things other people made.
Since then, I've co-founded Disrupto (an interactive design studio), launched Steepster (an online community for tea drinkers) and Memberly (a platform for creative subscription services) and settled in Brooklyn after over a year of traveling and working remotely.
I spend my time coming to terms with the constant urge to get better, stay focused, and find that chunk of the world calling for a 28-going-on-12 Chinese kid with big round glasses.
Everything is a work in progress. Pardon our dust.
