I am a smart soft system textile designer with a background in fashion design and fine art. Working with people and technologies, redesigning and redefining the relationship between human, materials and environment. I create strategy/discourse towards preferable futures, combining science, engineering, fashion design and fine art.

​

I focus on both physical and mental healthcare and wearable. I worked on various visual and emotional fine art projects and design a lot fancy wearables including clothes and accessories during my studying in University of Arts London. At present, I am working on projects related to exploring the relationship between the mental wellbeing and physical feedback and designing healthcare wearables with consideration for visual effect and sensing.
