Allison Hsiao

How would you define making it big?

For me making it big is to become someone that I can be proud of and use design to let a piece of the world become better.

What's a big move that has shaped you?

Coming to Calarts without knowing what Calarts is like, and path through all the bitter and sweets in the past four years, and letting graphic design become part of my life and my future career.

What's your next big move?

As of now, my next big move is to become a toy artist and also as a packaging designer. For the rest of my life, keep exploring all my area of interests.
