His experience ranges from an award-winning hometown studio with New York ADC, D&AD Wood Pencil, and Tokyo TDC award, to a leading internet company in China, Tencent. He was also featured by the Bounty Hunters in 2025.

He wouldn’t embrace 100% commercial service, because great commercial design requires thoughtful meaning; nor does he focus solely on art-driven design, because excellent design needs broader participation, being understood by a massive customer base rather than being locked away in an ivory tower.

He is a designer driven by the spirit of craftsmanship, constantly pushing every detail toward perfection.

Recently, he has been listening to Jean Dawson, Fred again.., and Tourists.
