It's all about the people
When I was 15, I had serious hopes of becoming a magician. Over a decade later, I am fortunate to be making digital experiences better through understanding people. One could say that's a different type of magic.

Graphic (sample)
Beyond interfaces and interactions, I've been working as a creative freelancer since 2019 with a focus on graphic design (print & digital) and video editing.
My creative freelancing journey began during a break from Cornell in 2019. I subsequently became one of the founding members of a design group with 30k followers on the Chinese social media platform Weibo today, and have worked with over 50 clients across different media.
Drop me a line to discuss collaboration opportunities.
Filmmaking
Much like UX design, filmmaking is the art of using different tools to weave together a compelling story and create emotional connections with an audience.
In the fall of 2018, I took a Visual Storytelling course and worked on a number of student productions, rotating between different roles and playing with the entire filmmaking process. My favorite production of the semester was Scripted, a short film which I worked on as the director of photography.
Check out its lookbook.

When I'm not designing
I make stuff, watch tennis, go on spontaneous walks, cook occasionally, and wonder if I need more camera gear.
