My first ever art experience was doodling on a piece of paper when I knew how to hold a pencil. I don’t know where this artist gene came from, since all my family members worked in engineering or business. I am happy that my mom stands by my side all the time, and even encouraged me to go to an art school when I had no plan for my future college.
My focus in this school, The School of Art Institute of Chicago (SAIC), is visual communication. I am preparing for the portfolio review this semester and hope I can enter the department. But why visual communication? I believe most people started with painting or drawing, but how was I introduced to graphic design in general?

I absolutely do not want to stick around during summer, especially because I kind of over-enroll in too many classes this semester. But as an international student, there are restrictions from both the school and the United State government. Therefore, I have to work extra hard in order to graduate on
