ABOUT ME
Whether learning to swim after nearly drowning or falling down learning to skateboard, I’ve always been drawn to trying new things. Embarrassment is an opportunity for new experiences—and willingness to stumble forward has become the trait I’m most proud of. Endless curiosity fuels my insight, and insight reveals hidden opportunities. Then, through holistic understanding. I create intentional and systematic design. The process is a continuous feedback loop, just like my daily swimming routine.
Hi, I’m Jean, a graphic designer driven by the synthesis of artistic and cultural insight that is both precisely considered and organically human.
