.Hello.
I´m a Chinese born designer and artist currently based in Sweden.
I have a wide interest for art, design and culture, and love to communicate ideas and thoughts both visually and verbally.
2008 I moved from China to Germany, where I studied automotive design, with a brief internship stay in Spain in 2014.
2018 I moved from Germany to Sweden, where I worked as a full-time automotive designer until 2024.
2022 an unexpected and extraordinary event happened to me in my professional life, which has lasted four years, to the present days.
It put an end to my career as an automotive designer, and in many ways, also reshaped my personal life beyond recognition.
To me, life always seems to have a way to throw me off course just when I believed I had the helm steady in my hands.
Where I am right now, where the course is steering, is yet to be figured out. Or to reveal itself, perhaps?
How many transitional “in-betweens” is considered acceptable for a fully functional adult? (Laughter)
With no answer in mind and no destination in sight,
I’m holding onto my passion for art, which I have been pursuing since 2020,
and a habit of writing, which has been my sanctuary ever since I remembered.
I have always wanted to keep them understated and private, not meant for loud display but as a quiet way of living and introspection.
Yet life seems to have other plans, whose intent is yet for me to fully grasp, if I ever will.
Perhaps again it shows that I was mistaken;
perhaps art and writing are meant to be seen — for humans to be connected, experiences to be shared, and lives to be expanded.
Perhaps I am again mistaken in my many perhaps,
but as for now, I would like to listen to the little whisper in my heart, and to give a try.
If you would like to connect, commission, or collaborate, I would love to hear from you.
