ABOUT ME

For the past 2 years, I’ve been flying back and forth between Vancouver BC and Taipei, Taiwan. I was born in Taiwan but grew up in Vancouver. I find myself going back to my roots to learn about my motherland, my family and the culture itself.
I am an avid photographer, but a designer by trade. I am quirky, have a down-to-do-anything openminded and curious personality.
I like to cook and bake cookies.
I am grateful for music because it correlates with dance and dance is happiness to me.
I enjoy creating art and expressing human creativity to anyone who’s interested.

PHILOSOPHY

We're only getting older so do it when you've got the chance.
