The Person Behind The Spaces
About
Taipei To New York
Spaces, Experiences,
And The Memories Between.
I am an interior designer from Taipei, currently at Chris Shao Studio in New York.
My approach begins with the experiences and memories a space can hold. Through material, atmosphere, and the way a journey unfolds, I aim to create places that feel tranquil, distinctive, and connected to the people who use them.
My work spans hospitality, retail, cultural spaces, and residential interiors. I earned my MFA in Interior Design at SCAD in 2025.

Echoes Of Belongings
A hospitality thesis exploring how a place can support social connection after work. A café-bar, courtyard, and back room form a sequence within a former New York warehouse. Light, sound, and spatial relationships shape opportunities for people to meet.
