A little about me

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.

Pandas, hotpot & tea houses

Raised among old lanes, tea-house afternoons, and very spicy tables. Chengdu taught me ritual, patience, and how community gathers around small everyday joys.
