I love ideas. Whether as a writer or designer, I'm always looking for the best way to communicate them.

writing
I write reviews and feature articles on visual art for The Los Angeles Times, Artforum, ARTnews and other publications. I have also been a contributing editor for Art on Paper and art critic for the SF Weekly. I'm a 2007 recipient of a Creative Capital | Warhol Foundation Arts Writers Grant and a co-author of Fresh Talk, Daring Gazes: Conversations on Asian American Art (University of California Press, 2003).

web design
With 14 years of interactive design experience, including several years in fast-paced New York City agencies, I have skills, discipline and big client experience.

I'm an expert in creative concept development, interface design, and interactive branding, and I have the communication and project management skills to make sure that a project gets done on strategy, on time and on budget.

From my background as a visual artist, I take a conceptual approach to design. I know how to define, develop, and extend a core message. I don't have a rigid style, but am always looking for the "big idea" that guides and determines the overall design.
