About Me

CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

Been studied graphic design in Singapore as an exchange student when I was studying interior design at college in Taipei, Taiwan and then I went to Perugia and Milan in Italy to study industrial design and design marketing for two years. I love to travel as you do. I grew up in the neighbors with international students and professors close to a Catholic University where my father worked in Taipei. I am gifted to learn languages and love to meet new international friends.
