Xinyi in Chinese means a heart full of happiness. With my parents' wishes, I'm content with who I am but tenacious enough to push my limits. Before becoming a designer, I earned a bachelor's degree in finance, where I was trained to be organized, logical, and goal-driven. I am a fast learner who enjoys exploring new ways of making according to our rapidly changing world and media environment. I'm an oil-and-water combination of reasoning, intuition, ambition, and looseness. I multiply my inner contradictions and craft work with precision, intention, and passion.
