Hello, I'm Cindy, a designer born and raised in Seattle who recently graduated from the University of Washington. What inspires me to design is the joy of exploring creative opportunities that bring a little spark to everyday moments, highlighting the little things in life.   Outside of design, you'll probably find me at home, listening to music, watching movies, or doing something spontaneous. I also like to throw an ampersand here & there.…Hello, I'm Cindy, a designer born and raised in Seattle who recently graduated from the University of Washington.
