Lay Ho!
I'm formerly an ESL Teacher who lived in: Hong Kong, South Korea, Taiwan and Guangzhou, China for 10+ years. I guess was addicted to traveling...lol.
An artist in many genre's, I'm an experienced graphic designer and digital marketer where strong interpersonal communication, content writing, and analytical research are required by using a variety of software applications to provide accurate information for social media management, SEO, and Email campaigns.
