I am an enthusiastic graphic designer, I have been fortunate to explore various design practices and perspectives, from intercultural to decolonized design, as I have transitioned from China to America.

Currently, I am pursuing my second master's degree in the Design and Environmental Analysis program at Cornell University. I invite you to join me in my world of design and photography utopia.

About Myself
Resume/CV
From the moment I unwrapped the gift of a Ricoh GR III, it wasn't just a camera; it became an extension of my soul. Every day for the past four years, it has whispered to me, urging me to capture the fleeting moments, the raw emotions, and the untold stories that life presents. This camera has been more than a tool; it's been my gateway to a world unseen, a world I never knew existed.

In the transformative fall23, under the mentorship of the esteemed Dr. A. Moisey, I embarked on a profound journey. Using Photobooks as my compass, I navigated the rich tapestry of photography's history. This exploration wasn't just academic; it reshaped my very essence, refining my artistic vision and deepening my connection to the art.

Through my lens, I seek the heartbeat of everyday life, the drama that unfolds in the quietest moments, and the joy found in life's delightful quirks. Every snapshot is a love letter to the world, a testament to my passion and curiosity. My camera doesn't just capture landscapes; it captures emotions, stories, and dreams.

I invite you to step into my world, to feel what I feel, to see what I see. Welcome to my utopia, a realm where every photograph is a piece of my heart, waiting to resonate with yours."

Why do clouds always drift while we chase? In the viewfinder, I look for an answer that doesn't exist. Maybe life is just a cup of Yirgacheffe drunk halfway through a farewell— Intertwined scents of light and shadow, drying out the senseless sorrow.

Through the lens, I see not just the scenery, but the reflection of us, running after something intangible. Let the wind cold-brew these memories. Wait for the shutter to click, and let the heart be reborn.

On an afternoon in 2025, sunlight filtered through the leaves and landed on her—like a freshly brewed Yirgacheffe, mingling brightness with shadow, tartness with sweetness.

She held her camera, then set it down. Sat on the bench, then wandered into the garden. No rehearsed poses—just the quiet rhythm of light and breath.
