My Work
Landscape Architecture
I am a trained landscape and urban designer. I’ve worked on different types of design projects including medicinal gardens, memorials, urban streetscapes, public art coordination, and park and open space plans. I like designing public spaces.
Health Research & Advocacy
My academic research focuses on designing for environmental and community health. I study the intersection of digital and built environments to support people with disabilities and chronic illness.
Gender Equity
I like to work on projects that tackle gender issues, including gender disparity in STEM and women’s health. I have worked with different organizations that support women’s empowerment, as graphic support, data analyst and educator.
Media Design & Digital Media
I work on digital graphic designs, 3D modeling and renderings. Currently exploring a combination of 2D graphic and augmented reality in games to promote health. I also create graphic materials for the Tardigrade Project.
Screen Printing
I am working on a series of screen prints that explores experiences and stories of place. Currently exploring landscapes and legends of Taipei.
Music
In my spare time I make loops of cello and guitar. I used to play in an Americana band called the Sharrows. I would love to play your wedding. Recordings forthcoming.
