about me

I was born in Beijing and have been lucky enough to live in Hong Kong, Toronto, London, and New York City. Through years of working in the fashion industry, I have travelled to many places and most continents. The mixture of cultures, visuals, and cultures has influenced me deeply, from the beautiful to the ridiculous, from the glaring to the subtle, from the East to the West. I have always had a strong need to create something in the arts.

Finally, in 2023, I left my fashion corporate life for good and pursued arts full time.

Arts evoke emotions; some are to challenge, others to instill calmness, and more to induce nostalgia; I create to bring a sense of chaotic happiness by fusing freeform expression with constraints and reimagining everyday scenes by juxtaposing vibrant prints with mundane objects - from buildings to canned fish. I want to bring unexpectedness, discoveries, and joy, encouraging fresh perspectives on our surroundings in a transformative way, where ordinary moments become a bit more extraordinary.

I digitally hand-draw both patterns and outlines. However, I believe art should not be limited, so I have also experimented with large-scale mural installations, digital animations, and collages. I am looking forward to doing more of that in the future.
