a Creative Technologist and Product Designer, based in London.
I’m all about creating experiences that make people’s lives easier and more enjoyable.
I’ve always found myself drawn to the intersection of design and technology. I spent four years studying Product Design at Jiangnan University, where I really got to dive deep into 3D design and modeling, and developed a way of thinking about design that shapes everything I do. After graduating, I had the chance to work at Studio NOWHERE in Shanghai for almost six months. It was during this time that I started transitioning from traditional product design to something more immersive, and that’s where I began to realize where my real passion lies.
Wanting to explore this further, I moved to London to study VR and AR at Goldsmiths. That’s where I picked up more technical skills and really began to feel at home blending creativity with development. For a long time, I felt a bit lost, not quite sure if I was a designer or a developer—maybe a bit of both, which made me feel like I didn’t fit neatly into any one category. But then I discovered the role of creative technologist, and it clicked. This is where I belong, bouncing between design and tech, and I love that balance.
Most of the time, my ideas come from nature and the small things in everyday life. I know life can be pretty ordinary, but it’s those little moments of joy, cute and beauty that keep me going. I’ve always had a deep love for the natural world, a belief that everything around us is alive in some way, as if we’re all woven from the fabric of miracles. I truly hope we can all learn to treat the world and everything in it with kindness and respect.
