I’m a designer, dreamer, and nature enthusiast. My love for art and design shapes the work that I do.

Project1：ALIEN
This project transforms the visual language of Alien into contemporary jewelry. Rather than treating the film as a literal reference, I use it as a conceptual framework to explore body transformation, seduction, invasion, and the uneasy boundary between beauty and violence. The result is a series of wearable forms that turn alien anatomy into intimate body extensions.
Project2: ORANGE LIGHT OASIS
In terms of material expression, this citrus-based material is not only a sustainable resource utilization method but also a design language. The natural patterns, color gradations, and irregular shapes of the orange peel give each piece of work its uniqueness, emphasizing the handcrafted feel and natural aesthetics. At the same time, it transforms agricultural waste into functional products (lighting), embodying circular design and low-carbon concepts.
Project3: SERENWAVE
This eyewear case draws inspiration from marine fish and waves. Through abstraction, curves, streamlined forms, and undulating textures are transformed into the product’s surface patterns and opening mechanism, which features magnetic closure. Four felt panels are sewn together and curved, with one felt piece forming each side. Beyond its practicality, it symbolizes flow, vitality, and balance while conveying ocean conservation values—making every use an act of care for our planet.
Project4: TRANSMUTATION
Through the growth of copper crystals on the cathode and the corrosion of aluminum on the anode in a copper sulfate solution, Transmutation explores how electrochemical reactions can be transformed into a design method through material transformation processes. By observing the growth and disappearance of materials, the project redefines electrochemical reactions as autonomous systems capable of generating form, rather than merely as manufacturing processes. It also rethinks the relationship between designers and materials, and attempts to establish a design approach in which materials actively participate.
