MY STORY

My background in design is based in architecture school and practice. All of my design thinking and methodologies come from spatial concepts. Respecting the material is the foundation of my craft, it is a day-to-day learning about each material’s processes and constraints.

I spent lots of spare time in doodling and illustration since i was a kid, mostly about my cat and cat friends i met. And now they all become inspiration and on-going projects. Essentially, I wish i can bring joyful moments to your daily life that is the only thing matters and really motivates my work.
