I am currently a Ph.D. student in Design at North Carolina State University, advised by Dr. Deborah Littlejohn. My research develops a principle-based framework for Multilingual Typesetting. I am also deeply committed to design education, particularly design higher education.
Before NC State, I earned an M.A. in Human Centered Design from Cornell University, with a concentration in Design for Interaction and a minor in Anthropology; an M.A. in Graphic Design and Visual Experience from the Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD); and a B.F.A. in Visual Communication Design from the Tianjin Academy of Fine Arts (TAFA) in China.
Outside of research, I photograph, with a particular interest in Northeast Asian documentary traditions. Welcome to my world of design and photography.

About Myself
Resume/CV
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."

From Georgia, to New York, and now to North Carolina.
Over the past few years, as I pursued my own academic milestones, my lens quietly documented countless farewells. Having captured so many graduations, my midsummers have long been defined by the recurring chorus of "Congratulations." As the storyteller behind the camera, I often found myself staying behind, sending peers off with nothing but the most sincere blessings.
The passing of yet another graduation season brought a sudden wave of nostalgia. I went back to the archives, carefully filtering through years of frames, and rearranged them into this digital "special issue."
Within these pages, I hope to evoke the shared memories of the seasons we once lived through.
Happy Graduation, to us all.
