journey
San Francisco, California
I am currently based in San Francisco envisioning how we might create and add value through human centered design.
Pasadena, California
Pasadena is where I explored, learned and widened my perspectives to envision and create valuable design and business opportunities for the markets of today and tomorrow.
Beijing, China
Beijing is where my memories from youth are based and it also a city where I gained experiences with aspiring startups to create marketable products which then lead me to reconsider and reevaluate my value propositions as a designer.
a
Gelsenkirchen, Germany
Gelsenkirchen is where I began my journey as an industrial designer and explored the balances between function, usability and aesthetics to develop well-designed products. It is also where I developed my values of collaboration, reliability and open communication.
Seoul, Korea
Time in Seoul was a period of exploration, experimentation and incubation of my passion and interest in the field of art and design; creative industry. Through the process I gained interest in ergonomics and objectivity that naturally attracted me to universal design.
Hongkong
As a child I was raised in Hongkong where I was surrounded by various cultures and identities from different parts of the world; I believe this phase of life helped me feel natural, neutral and comfortable to differences.
