Hi, I’m Amy!
“If a person or an animal has a soul, so does an object.” Passion brought me to the world of art and design. Throughout the journey, my passion transformed into a desire to create a memorable experience in furniture and spaces, impacting the users’ feelings and thoughts. With a people-centric mindset, I value quality and personality as I understand the importance of how solid components with good intentions will lead to excellent functionality and stability in design and life. As a designer, I want to contribute my innovations to a better living world.
Contemporary and industrial design are my interests. My approach focuses on multidiscipline, symbol, lighting, efficiency, and simplicity.
