Born in and grown up during the period of then British Crown colony and later China governed Hong Kong.
Fascinated by this unique cultural background and special political environment of my up-bringing, I started my search of identities in aspects of designs and cultural differences throughout my studies and career journey in other countries.
I received my creative, visual, graphic design and UX design trainings and professional experiences in Hong Kong, United Kingdom, France and The Netherlands.
Currently I am both a full-time employed Creative Assets & System Manager ( UX & Design ) in Amsterdam, as well as a registered freelancer in creative design and management based in Amsterdam and Paris.
