Profile

I graduated from the Academy of Art University in San Francisco with a major in Visual Development and have over seven years of experience in the design industry, specializing in graphic design, packaging design, and game art. I excel at direct client communication and B2B project collaboration, ensuring that every design solution aligns closely with commercial and market needs.

Throughout my career, I have been deeply involved in projects for Nintendo and the Shanghai IKEA LIVAT Center, and have provided design services for major clients including IKEA and Wanda Group. I have led the visual and packaging design for various consumer products, including beverages, tobacco, and other goods on the market. Through innovative visual storytelling and strong brand alignment, I have helped products stand out and increase market competitiveness.
With a solid art foundation and cross-industry project experience, I am skilled at driving design projects efficiently and delivering impactful results across diverse business contexts.
