Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Studying Chinese medicine in Melbourne
ABOUT ME
I was born and raised in the hutongs of old Beijing. Only 5 years later I moved to Perth with my parents where I grew up under the sun and beside the sea.
I gave up a probably safe and secure career of engineering to follow a life-long passion of design in my last 6 months before university and haven't looked back since.
I've been the co-founder of an internet start-up for the past 4 years which has introduced me to many amazing people and taken me on adventures around the world, to Silicon Valley and back.
PHILOSOPHY
Nothing is impossible. I believe in being passionate about everything I do and that everyone has the potential and ability to make a difference.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
In 2008, I went to communist North Korea on a 4-day tour. It was such an eye opening experience and one I won't forget any time soon.
