I’m a visual designer & researcher
fascinated by how humans and Al co-evolve.
My exploration of cyberpunk aesthetics led to my study of tech transformation at Riot Games and Tencent.
I blend theory with practice to study AIGC’s impact on creativity and to develop smart VR games.
I study how technology subtly affects our bodies and minds, focusing on AIGC’s role in creativity and mental health.

In my spare time
I like dancing 💃
I have a profound passion for dance, which I view as a practical exploration of humans, body, and machines. I had the privilege of participating in Street Dance of China, a prestigious dance competition show, and led my university team to win first place in the Eastern China Division. As a dancer, I was also invited to perform in a League of Legends promotional video. Currently, I’m exploring Afro dance style.
I like petting my cat 😻
She is a two-year-old golden British Shorthair named JOJO (inspired by the Japanese anime JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure). She has accompanied me through Shanghai, Xiamen, Shantou, and Shenzhen.
