I am a designer who specialises in spatial design and believes that any design with boundaries can be called interior design. I like to create lovely projects and am interested in the relationship between architectural space and people’s emotions, especially the influence of social sciences such as psychology on architectural space. I enjoy straightforward and simple designs, often seeking inspiration from film, animation and games, and am not limited to spatial design, preferring to incorporate the relationship between graphics and product design to break down boundaries.

BACK TO ROSE-COLOURED CAMPUS LIFE
—— A sensory activator embedded in student accommodation
(individual project) 2022
Due to China's epidemic policy, most students who entered university after 2019 experienced a completely different university life. During the epidemic lockdown, university students' campus life was concentrated in electronic screens such as mobile pads and computers, and according to my research and interviews, they all missed or imagined the multi-faceted experience of their university surroundings without the epidemic. So I designed a series of sensory activation devices based on other students' memories of the space around campus, to activate their spatial sensations that they had gradually forgotten during the closure.
NOTTINGHILL REMINISCENCE
Set -Jetting
(individual project)2024
People will visit the Notting Hill Bookshop and the Blue Door for the Notting Hill film, an act much like anime pilgrimage, both of which join the space of storytelling through a work on screen.
This was the beginning of my project, architectural space has a deep relationship with human emotions and memories, so a Eurotunnel scene is an important presence for some people.
