Be kind,
curious,
and persevere.

Hey, I'm Rea!

I'm a 23-year-old Master's student at the University of Toronto for UX Design.

Everything I create is intentional. Even the things no one will ever notice ...
My goal is to make a positive change in the world through design,
adding more colour to someone's life.

I'm always making (or breaking) things, learning as much as I can in life.
