ABOUT ME
In the quiet corners of my childhood, art spoke for me. As a shy child, drawing became my language, guiding me out of solitude and onto the vibrant path of design. My journey began in the rich artistic tradition of China, where design conveys a deep sense of identity and history. When I arrived in the United States, I embraced the boldness of commercial design, learning to take risks and push boundaries in branding and advertising. During this time, I traveled to Germany, where I discovered that true elegance resides in balance and precision. With each new project, each fresh challenge, my art continues to speak for me. I strive to create designs that resonate deeply-designs that are not only seen, but also felt and remembered.
