I'm pursuing a degree in Industrial Design at Carnegie Mellon University's School of Design, with a minor in Human-Computer Interaction. My foundation in design traces back to my dad's toolbox — permission to take things apart just to understand how they worked. That early curiosity evolved into something larger: a commitment to bringing small moments of magic into everyday life. Growing up across the United States, China, and Germany taught me that objects speak differently to different people, and that designing with love means listening first.
Beyond the studio, I stay curious through cooking unfamiliar cuisines, reading science fiction and cookbooks, and cheering loudly for the Wolverines and Lions. Sundays are reserved for Shonen Jump. My favorite color has always been orange.
