Hi, I'm Kathy.
I'm a Taiwanese-American art director and designer from Kansas City, Missouri.
I also art direct for Games at The New York Times, shaping creative strategy and expression across editorial and product spaces.
Previously, I managed visual design systems and experiences at Rest of World and art directed at The Washington Post, The Boston Globe, and Globe Magazine. I produced and designed The Mueller Report Illustrated, a graphic nonfiction book and six-part digital presentation. In 2017, I helped launch the visual style of a Snapchat Discover channel.
