Hello!
I am Flo and this is Taco, my 9 year-old Boston Terrier. I was born and raised in Hong Kong, lived in Toronto and San Francisco before I made New York City my home.
I am a designer by trade and a closet book nerd at heart, with a touch of woo-woo-ness…huge fan of Susan Miller/Astrology zone.
My design practice focuses on retail and consumer brands. My integrated background in 2D & 3D design sets my work apart in my unique ability to design through physical and digital environments to create beautiful experiences.
I also have an immense interest understanding the intersections between art and human psychology. What makes it stick? Why people do what they do?

I approach work as a timespace where one can learn all aspects to run a successful business; an opportunity to build close friendship and mentorship with teamates; lead by example, with trust and curiosity. Raise the bar, show up for yourself and your team everyday and live to the fullest.
