Hi, I’m Joan.
Singaporean American creative based in the San Francisco Bay Area.
As a kid, I loved doodling and hacking blog themes. Now (after 12 years of designing in-house, agency, and freelance), I find joy in crafting simple yet thoughtful design solutions, and building meaningful connections in brand storytelling. After work you can find me: walking backwards on a treadmill, chasing musical frissons on a scenic drive, or tearing up watching a Romcom Kdrama.
Strengths
Proactive and compassionate
I love to celebrate small wins and birthdays, aka the party planner.
Detail-oriented and methodical
I’m an Obsessive Compulsive Designer (OCD).
Still not sure if I’m a good ‘fit’? Here are my MBTI, DISC, and character strengths results for the personality quiz nerds.
