About 

​​I grew up in Shanghai, one of the most modern cities in China. I was trained to business person like my father when I was young. I had no idea that I would be doing design in my future. At the age of 19, I was admitted to the Fine Art College of Shanghai University. During that time, I gained a deeper understanding of art and design. And I got my Bachelor of fine art degree in environmental design in 2006.

After graduation, I had tried two different field in working experiences. I interned worked in a construction company and learned how to be an good interior design assistant for one year. Later then, I changed my job to an assistant office manager in an international logistics company, and learn how important in running business in the real field.  Eventually I realized that design is the only thing I can do. Then I decided to go aboard and study interior design at the graduate level in Academy of Art University in San Francisco in 2009.

Right now, interior design is my life and I am here to do all I can do to become a better designer. I have broadened my design ideas by coming into contact with new design theories and methods, and I look forward to becoming a professional interior designer.
