ABOUT ME
I enjoy experiencing new things and being creative. In my spare time, I love playing music, hiking, photographing, and illustrating. Recently, I’ve been into GenAI and experimenting with Midjourney a lot. I am passionate about being a designer, but I don't limit myself to just one field!
Music is my cure 🎵
Music is one of the most important accompanies in my life. I enjoy music regardless of genres and media. I love playing the piano, singing, playing the ukulele, and going to live events. I also tried to make my own music —— but just for pleasing myself. The audio below is me playing one of my original songs. Hope you also enjoy :D
I love creating visuals with brushes 🎨
I really enjoy playing around colors, as well as lines, with my hands and imaginations! BTW I drew the homepage illustration of my website :)
and cameras 📷
I bought my first DSLR camera in 2017, which has become my “must bring item” whenever I travel around. Below are photos I took near Big Sur, California.
I leverage design to make traditional culture glow
Interested in Chinese original culture, I visited a rural village in China to learn about the traditional indigo-dye craftsmanship, after which I helped a traditional local blue-dye business significantly improve its products and services through design 👇
I stayed 3 days in Zhoucheng (the indigo-dye village), Yunnan, China
Two of my classmates and I innovated the product design for the traditional indigo-dye business
We also helped the business redesign the customer experiencing of “trying indigo-dye yourself”, and increased the number of visitors by 29% during pilot run
and make us a better world ❤️
I volunteered to teach blind children music at a special school in Changsha, China, after which I designed a learning tool for visually impaired students. The design was awarded the red dot award 2020 👇
I was teaching blind students music at Changsha Special School in 2020
During the voluntary work, I discovered that blind students have difficulties taking notes in class and structuring knowledge, so I designed a learning recorder for them
The final design was awarded the Red Dot Award 2020 - please check the video below if you are interested in how the product works
