Musée Rodin, Paris, 2024

Hi, I’m Chelsey. Hardworking perfectionist, lifelong learner.

Born with a deeply sensing, empathic heart, I live intuitively. From an early age, my sensitivity to the world drew me to observe and deep dive into the nature of things. I loved drawing and creating works. This innate curiosity for underlying principles and hidden correlations has been the compass guiding me through life, shaping my path from interior architecture through product design.

My foundation was built in art school (Pratt Institute, NY) and traditional design firms, where I gained broad understanding of the total development process from the economic, design, sustainability and marketing viewpoints. Working within a financial institution was a life-enhancing and transformative chapter in my journey, where I grew strong interest in financial products and the complex systems behind them. I expanded my knowledge of diverse regulatory landscapes, business understanding, risk management, market mechanisms, user segments, technology integration—and their impact on product planning. 

A coalescence between practicality and humanity is what we need today. My aesthetics is influenced by extensive travels and diverse cultural environments—from Classical arts, European culture, to Eastern traditions. My design is deep rooted in humanity and elegant forms. I thrive in dynamic, fast-paced environments, bringing hands-on expertise to rapidly evolving project phases while always striving for high-value solutions. I naturally gravitate toward the role of a mediator—facilitating better integration across teams, coordinating diverse interests and goals. Working closely with people, accommodating needs, and uplifting the energy of a workspace are things I cherish deeply.

At my core, I am someone who approaches life with sincerity, optimism, and a pure heart—continually seeking to bring beauty, empathy, and purpose into every experience I create.
