#CultureExplorer ✈️
To me, nothing beats the thrill of a new adventure in a new land. I not only capture exquisite designs from my voyages across diverse regions but also glean endless design inspiration along the way.
I moved to Seattle after over a decade immersed in Beijing. These two cities couldn't be more different, but both pulsate with an extraordinary vibrancy, brimming with incredibly inspiring people.
I love to experience different environment and various cultural context, to see the world through the lens of art and transportation.
#RailBuff 🚆
I enjoy exploring rail transportation, including subways, high-speed rail systems, trams, and stations. Exceptional public transit design brings me great satisfaction. I love to learn and share knowledge around rail transit; I hope rail culture becomes increasingly popular and inviting.
#DogDad 🐕
Meet Bank, a smart, lively, friendly Shiba. Well-trained with my “dog-centered” approach.
#MovieFan 🎬
Movies aren’t just entertainment for me – they’re inspiration. I love to dissect plots or expression style for design concepts, and apply them to my work. Having watched over 2000 movies, TV shows and plays, I’m always happy to have insightful discussions about them.
