I’m a warm-hearted designer from Taiwan with a background in product design and design management, and a passion for furniture and craftsmanship. I believe good design should create both function and feeling.
With a strong interest in user-centered thinking, I enjoy shaping design processes and collaborating across disciplines to bring ideas to life. Blending cultural insight, hands-on making, and thoughtful research, I aim to create intuitive, meaningful designs that connect with people on a deeper level.
