Born in 1980 and grown up across the peri­od of then British colonised and the lat­er Chi­nese gov­ern­ment Hong Kong. Fas­ci­nat­ed by the spe­cial cul­tur­al sit­u­a­tion up-bring­ing, I start­ed my search of iden­ti­ties in aspects of designs and cul­tur­al dif­fer­ences through out my stud­ies in oth­er coun­tries. I received my cre­ative and design train­ings & work expe­ri­ences in Hong Kong, Unit­ed King­doms, France, The Nether­lands and I am now work­ing as an inde­pen­dent graph­ic design­er base in Ams­ter­dam and Paris.
