About

I studied Art and Science at Tsinghua University and am currently studying Service Design at the Royal College of Art.

I have always been drawn to nature and the ways it shapes human life. My work in service design focuses on creating systems, apps, and experiences that help people live better. But I believe that designing for convenience and efficiency alone is not enough—these are built on a larger structure, and without a solid foundation, they lose their meaning. If people’s basic needs are not met, talking about improving their experience through design becomes unrealistic.

One of the biggest challenges we face today is the impact of environmental changes on human life. Nature’s shifts affect everything—how we work, move, and connect with each other. This is why my work seeks to spark awareness and reflection. Through this piece, I want to encourage people to rethink their relationship with nature and understand that before we build anything new, we must first take care of the world that supports us. Only by recognizing this connection can we create designs that truly make life better.
