Hi! I'm Rose.

I am a Gen Z, Taiwanese American designer, strategist, artist, and activist. To me work is far more important than income or status, it is a vocation. It is how we impact and move through the world. Design in specific focuses on human behavior and shaping experiences and services with a human centered approach. As a result, I believe that we have both responsibility and power within our work to facilitate actions and behaviors that create positive impact.
‍
Yet in the Eurocentric, Patriarchal, Capitalist society we live in, design and labor is often used to promote consumerism and business, rather than truly serving and nurturing people and our ecosystems. As a response, I center my work and career around seeking to design with intentionality - truly examining the impact of my work and the type of system/future it is building towards.

Ultimately, I hope to facilitate the design of a new culture, economy, and society, one that centers around care, decolonization, and interconnectedness. When we focus on community, sustainability, and access, we truly serve people, and our ecosystems, which in turn, supports and sustains us as well.
