Summary

From a young age, I harbored a deep passion for animation. Driven by an impulsive decision, I redirected my career aspirations from architecture to the study of animation. After completing my animation studies in China, my enthusiasm for creative expression remained undiminished. Subsequently, I pursued advanced studies in animation at the University of Southern California (USC) in the United States. My goal is to produce a diverse portfolio of personal works, exploring and unlocking my creative potential. I am fervently dedicated to storytelling and, in my leisure, enjoy creating experimental animation projects as a personal hobby. My passion for creative pursuits is unwavering.
