RUI SUN
ME, MYSELF, AND I

Growing up in Atlanta, Georgia, art has always been my companion. As an artsy student, I would often lose myself in picture books, captivated by the illustrations. Art became my outlet for expressing thoughts and emotions. Fueled by a love for art and a desire to help others, I moved to New York City, the hub of fashion, art, and design, to pursue a career in UI/UX design. My aim is to create designs that enhance our world, making it easier and more efficient to live in.

When I'm not designing, I enjoy snuggling with my dog, Aki, browsing flea markets, and indulging in good good food (me thinking about sushi rn...yum!)
