ABOUT ME
Hi, I’m Jae! I’m a graphic designer who loves creating work rooted in visual identity and narrative world-building. I received my BA from NYU’s Gallatin School in 2025, where I built my own major around design, storytelling, and visual culture.
I’m currently a Graphic Design Intern at GKIDS Films, where I’ve had the chance to learn about the creative processes behind the distribution and promotion of animated films. I’m also an Adobe Creative Apprentice, continuing to grow my practice through mentorship and professional development.
A lot of my work is inspired by East Asian art and animation, drawing from my Chinese background and the visual languages I grew up with. When I’m not designing, you can usually find me reading, making hand-crafts, or being bossed around by my very needy cat!
