I am a design director who thrives on creativity across diverse forms and enjoys exploring new fields in today’s rapidly evolving AI era.
After graduating from Columbia University’s Architecture and Urban Design program—renowned for embracing cutting-edge design technologies—I have continued to nurture my curiosity across multiple design disciplines. Alongside my professional career, I have also built small creative businesses and spent over 20 years specializing in beauty retail, luxury brand environments, and interior design.
Outside of work, I enjoy the vibrancy of urban life in both New York City and Taipei, and I am an avid traveler always seeking out the best local food experiences around the world.
