Raised among old lanes, tea-house afternoons, and very spicy tables. Chengdu taught me ritual, patience, and how community gathers around small everyday joys.
I started in medical sciences, fell for design engineering, and never quite left either. These days I'm an interdisciplinary designer — most recently an MEng at Duke — working where HCI, arts, business strategy, and health sciences overlap.
Aesthetics and detail sharpen how something is perceived, but they only matter to me when they meet a real human need. That's why every project here starts with empathy — interviews, ethnography, sitting with people — and ends with impact you can measure.
Off-screen: running Figma workshops, volunteering with kids and hospital patients, and turning small experiments into exhibitions.

Medical science at USYD, beaches in between — my first design chapters, and a mini art exhibition of my own creative-tech experiments.
An MEng at Duke in Durham — where I ran a Figma workshop series and built Hey Navi with CFCI — volunteering with children in Boston, and designing at Pinecone in New York.
