Some personal stories

Genetically speaking, I am a blend of Mongolian, Japanese, Chinese, and German heritage. I was born in Qingdao, a seaside city in eastern China known for selling beer by weight in plastic bags. It was once a German colony and is home to Taoist monks who surf. At 13, I spent several years exploring my roots in Japan, and now, after living 15 years in Europe, I call France home—though my future could take me anywhere.

In the development of projects, I am an adventurer, voyager, experiencer, and builder. I have a sharp sense for trends, cultural nuances, and interdisciplinary connections. As a polyglot, my multicultural experiences have fostered a strong sense of empathy.

  • After three years of preparation, I underwent two jaw surgeries within a single year, spent months on a liquid diet, and successfully completed my recovery.

  • I once befriended someone who attempted to rob me, helped him find a job, and supported him in planning his business. Today, he owns multiple restaurants.

My works weave the unexpected, humor, and paradox, blending visual art, coding, and materials with a deep appreciation for craftsmanship and imagery.

For instance, I’ve coded garment patterns to craft bags and objects from recycled materials.
