Hello !

Multidisciplinary Art Director, originally from Taiwan and currently based in the Bay Area for over 10 years. Brings more than 7 years of experience in art direction, photography, and creative production. Skilled in leading marketing, e-commerce, and social media campaigns, transforming creative concepts into visually compelling solutions. Brings a diverse skill set to create high-quality visuals from concept to execution, ensuring consistency in fast-paced environments.

I find peace in solo hiking and road trips, immersing myself in diverse landscapes and cultures while stepping out of my comfort zone and embracing challenges. Nature’s colors and patterns weave into my art, stirring creativity and vision. I capture every frame as a story, a memory, and a reflection of the mind.
