Sywan-Yue Shih’s Summary

I work mainly with print and web design. I leverage technology. Utilizing it for personal growth and to connect with people. As a consultant I look at how design is positioned as a whole branding opportunity. I help people consider branding as a signature which identifies and how it can reinforce good companies and products.

Other than design, I'm quite interested in marketing. Especially in the area of search engine marketing.
