ABOUT ME
Hi, I’m Jae! I’m a Chinese American graphic designer with a love for anime and East Asian media. I received my BA from NYU’s Gallatin School in 2025, where I built my own major around design, storytelling, and visual culture. I’m currently interning with the production team at GKIDS Films. When I’m not designing, I’m busy being a cat mom, making hand crafts, or heading outdoors!
I’m currently interning with the production team at GKIDS Films, where I’ve had the chance to learn about the creative processes behind the distribution and promotion of animated films. When I’m not designing, I’m busy being a cat mom, making hand crafts, or heading outdoors!
