Designer Statement

As an artist endeavoring to carve a distinct niche in the design world, I strive to connect deeply with my audience, provoking intellectual and emotional responses through my creative expressions. My artistic journey has been characterized by a diverse portfolio, encompassing both garments and paintings, through which I channel my personal insights. Looking forward, I am committed to continuing the exploration and articulation of my unique voice.

My focus is meticulous in the creation process, aiming for perfection in every aspect—from the final product to its conceptual foundations. I embrace various media to express these ideas, ensuring that regardless of the material, my work emanates a pervading sense of tranquility and connection.


Born in the bustling city of Shanghai and raised amid the diverse landscapes of California, I am a designer who believes in the transformative power of art. My journey through two contrasting cultures has ingrained a deep appreciation for the nuances of cultural identity, shaping my approach to design as a bridge that connects souls across the globe.

During my early years in Shanghai, I dedicated a decade to mastering Chinese painting, which honed my sensitivity to the expressive potential of art. My passion for watercolors emerged here, drawn to its capacity to convey serenity and spirituality. This early exposure to different art forms sparked a lifelong dedication to integrating emotion, artistry, and cultural insight into my work.

A critical part of my process involves defining the emotional ambiance of each piece, and guiding the selection of colors, textures, and forms. I often favor earth tones, grays, and soft hues combined with fluid lines to create an atmosphere of elegance and subtlety. This careful balance of emotion and aesthetics is evident in my work, drawing from diverse influences to produce designs that are not only visually appealing but also emotionally evocative.
