A Bit About Me
Growing up in Hong Kong and traveling across the world has shaped my perspective and fueled my creative journey. With a strong passion for product design and 3D creation, I bring innovative ideas to life through thoughtful, user-centered design.
With over a decade of experience, I’ve developed a wide range of products for global brands, gaining deep insight into diverse market needs. My background allows me to blend functionality with aesthetics, creating designs that not only resonate with users but also enhance their everyday lives.
I’m always excited to collaborate and transform vision into reality. Let’s create something remarkable together!
