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

01 Fat sculpting
This project uses “fat” as its core visual language, designing a series of wearable art jewelry pieces that simulate the texture and luster of fat. Through the visual illusion techniques of high-end jewelry, it satirizes the consumerism and wastefulness found in contemporary Michelin-starred restaurants and high-end dining culture. The pieces are exquisitely beautiful on the outside, but in reality, they are made of cheap materials, prompting viewers to reflect on whether visual beauty masks the true cost behind it.
02 Mountains’ Four Seasons
In modern society, solar terms have been digitized, systematized, and consumerized, becoming reminders on the calendar and labels of rituals, and people have gradually lost the ability to perceive time with their bodies. My design takes the shape of a “mountain” and candles as a carrier. Through the interaction of new materials and the five senses, the “flow of time” is embodied as a perceptible experience: the slow melting of the wax body symbolizes the dissolution of time, the release of fragrance awakens the olfactory memory of the seasons, and the subtle changes in color, temperature and touch allow people to “meet” the four seasons again with their bodies.
This is a reconstruction of the perception of the changing seasons and solar terms, making time no longer an abstract number, but a slow flow and precipitation from the senses.
03 Between lines
In a contemporary context, fashion extends beyond decoration into everyday use. This design treats the glasses case as a wearable reading accessory rather than a simple storage object. Inspired by the bookmark’s discreet presence and mobility, it responds to the needs of people— especially those with presbyopia—who use glasses mainly while reading. Through restrained form and soft felt material, the design balances aesthetic expression with essential function, creating a subtle connection between the book and personal style.
“Between Lines” breaks the single-purpose limit of traditional eyeglass cases. It clips firmly between book pages as a handy reading bookmark, attaches to arms via an adjustable structure for commuting or exercising, and converts into a stylish waist bag—serving as a flexible accessory for diverse daily scenarios.
04 Tubey
Tubey reimagines lighting for both indoor and outdoor spaces as a giant, directionable straw. Its modular, adjustable system allows illumination customization for gardens, patios, or interior settings. A flexible arm “grows” alongside plants, blending nature and technology, while the lamp’s sculptural form offers beauty and weather resistance. Tubey transforms lighting into a dynamic, user-driven experience, designed for interaction, providing versatility and engagement beyond conventional static lamps
