MY FOCUSES




I build product and interactive experiences that turn ideas into something people can feel.

I work at the intersection of interactive media, spatial experience, and creative technology. My practice focuses on rapidly translating abstract concepts into functional, testable prototypes—through sensors, microcontrollers, XR environments, and material experimentation.

I often take on the role of a creative technologist in collaborative teams. I’m comfortable moving between concept development and hands-on execution: setting up interaction logic, building physical systems, and producing demos that make early ideas tangible and sharable.

I’m currently seeking opportunities in studios, labs, or teams working on interactive, experiential, or research-driven projects, and I’m always open to thoughtful collaborations.





MY INTERESTS



I’m interested in art and fashion as cultural forms that reveal social norms, collective values, and modes of self-expression across different communities.

I’m also drawn to practices that slow things down. I enjoy meditation, spending time in nature, and cooking—activities that influence how I think about rhythm, materiality, and presence in my creative work.







SHANGHAI  to  LOS ANGELES

Being born and raised in Shanghai has given me a sensitivity to collective culture and urban intensity.

Now based in Los Angeles, I’m learning from a different cultural landscape that emphasizes individuality, openness, and scale. 

Navigating between these contexts informs how I collaborate across disciplines and approach culturally situated creative work.
