Hi, I'm Susan!

I'm a graphic designer based in Orange County, California, though my path here wasn't exactly a straight line. I studied International Studies before spending two years teaching English in South Korea, an experience that taught me how to adapt fast and notice details other people miss, and it still shapes how I approach every project I take on. That time also left me conversational in Vietnamese and functional in Korean, enough to build real relationships with the teachers I worked alongside.

Design found me through that same curiosity. I went on to earn my degree in Graphic Design, and somewhere along the way I fell in love with the quiet power of good visual work, the kind that doesn't shout but still gets remembered.

My approach is simple: soft doesn't mean weak, and pretty doesn't mean empty. I care about details, intention, and making sure every piece I create actually works, not just looks nice sitting still. If you're a small business or creator who wants a brand or site that feels intentional from the first sketch to the final file, that's what I'm here for.

When I'm not designing, you'll usually find me chasing a dog, sewing something I didn't need to make, or hunting down fabric for a project that may never get finished.
