Hi! I’m Sean, a graphic designer based out of Los Angeles, born in Hong Kong, and raised on the Internet. Driven by my passion for experimental typography and collaboration, I approach design with technical expertise and emotional depth. I love tapping into niche subcultures and organizing my research into memorable stories. Offline, I’ve mentored aspiring creatives while continuing to explore, document, and grow—whether through the people around me or the pages of books.
