My Bio
(b. March 10, 1981)

Born and raised in Miami, Florida to parents who emigrated from Hong Kong in the 70's. Childhood activities included unofficially co-illustrating his Dr. Seuss books and obsessively assembling all the LEGO he could get his hands on. He sometimes had to share with his brother.

After high school he flew to California to study computer science at Univeristy of California, Berkeley. Introductory programming classes went smoothly for a while, until it became clear that he didn't have the math. (the huge margin between his math and verbal SAT scores should have been a clue.) He finally pursued a degree in English and is still trying to figure out what to make of the experience.

Attempts at finding his calling at this point met with varying degrees of success: stints included work as a freelance designer, a game tester, and more than enough retail to last a lifetime. It was on a quarter-lifer’s whim and a prayer that he decided to focus on his first language: visual arts.

He received his degree in Media Arts & Animation at the Art Institute of California – San Francisco in March of 2010. Having honed his 2D skills and begun his journey into 3D art, he hopes to continue to learn and grow as an artist, and realize his lifelong dream... a house of LEGO for him and his family.
