My name is ivan, from China, and I am a fashion photographer, visual designer and social media operator. I have a very cute Scottish fold cat, and I often take it out to travel. At the same time, I also have many hobbies, such as fitness, skiing, skateboarding, fashion photography, traveling, Western food, violin...

After graduating in June 2020, I have been working all the time, and I have also been on business trips to some other countries. However, after returning to China, I don't like the working hours mode in China, which takes up my whole life and stifles my creativity and freedom. Admittedly, making money is very important, but to make money in a comfortable way is my attitude and goal.

When I left my job in August 2023, a Turkish friend told me this: "Life is like an empty book, you need to take every step bravely to enrich every page of your life." These words have always affected me deeply. When I was in college, I used to run a coffee shop. At that time, I was busy in my college business. My American English teacher asked me a question: "IVAN, do you have time to think? Do nothing, think about what you do and what you want." Their words influenced me in all my actions after that, so I had a free soul, and instead of working hard all the time like I usually do, I would slow down and give myself time to think, learn and enrich myself.
