ABOUT ME

Hello, I am a designer living in Taipei, Taiwan.
lived in the Netherlands for 7 years, and just moved back to Taiwan 1 year ago.
Still curious about the world and wanting to meet inspiring people from all backgrounds, and to do/see things never experienced before.
And I always love to just spend time sharing good food, good drinks and stories.
