Stay a child’s heart and never stop exploring the world!

🎨 I started my creative life shaping physical space. Walls, light, shadow, and now I shape digital experiences with the same care: grounded, intentional, and deeply human.

🌎 Born in Urumqi and moved to Canada since 16 taught me to read between the lines, to spot unspoken needs, navigate ambiguity, and design for people who don’t fit a single ‘persona.’

📚 I'm a bookworm. For me, books are windows into how the world comes together.

🔮 I love psychology and astrology. Not as fortune-telling, but as ancient frameworks for understanding human motivation.
