I am an enthusiastic graphic designer, I have been fortunate to explore various design practices and perspectives, from intercultural to decolonized design, as I have transitioned from China to America.

Currently, I am pursuing my second master's degree in the Design and Environmental Analysis program at Cornell University. I invite you to join me in my world of design and photography utopia.

About Myself
Resume/CV
From the moment I unwrapped the gift of a Ricoh GR III, it wasn't just a camera; it became an extension of my soul. Every day for the past four years, it has whispered to me, urging me to capture the fleeting moments, the raw emotions, and the untold stories that life presents. This camera has been more than a tool; it's been my gateway to a world unseen, a world I never knew existed.

In the transformative fall23, under the mentorship of the esteemed Dr. A. Moisey, I embarked on a profound journey. Using Photobooks as my compass, I navigated the rich tapestry of photography's history. This exploration wasn't just academic; it reshaped my very essence, refining my artistic vision and deepening my connection to the art.

Through my lens, I seek the heartbeat of everyday life, the drama that unfolds in the quietest moments, and the joy found in life's delightful quirks. Every snapshot is a love letter to the world, a testament to my passion and curiosity. My camera doesn't just capture landscapes; it captures emotions, stories, and dreams.

I invite you to step into my world, to feel what I feel, to see what I see. Welcome to my utopia, a realm where every photograph is a piece of my heart, waiting to resonate with yours."

First Love 

 - in 2024

  • Sony ILCE-7R5
  • Ithaca, NY USA


In March 2024, amidst the quiet snowfall of Ithaca, I captured this series of photographs—a friend moving through the vast, white solitude. The world felt distant, softened by the hush of winter, where even the wind seemed hesitant to stir. Footsteps disappeared as quickly as they were made, leaving behind only the lingering weight of presence and absence.

As First Love by Hikaru Utada plays, the melody drifts like snowflakes, delicate yet heavy with unspoken emotions. 
"You are always gonna be my love," she sings, a whisper to the past, a longing etched into the cold air. This is not just a winter scene, but a moment of quiet loneliness—beautiful, fleeting, and untouched.
