My creations have always been connected to that time, my magical childhood moment in the mountains. Nostalgia.
“I was born in Taipei, Taiwan. I grew up in the mountains of Southern Taipei, in a house my hippie, artistic parents hand built. It was a special time for me, climbing up the winding trails, adventuring through the ravine… The fog from the mountains, the smell of the jungle, and sounds of the insects are imbedded deep within me. It has been more than 20 years now since I have been back there. It felt like a surreal dream. Was it real?
My creations have always been connected to that time, my magical childhood moment in the mountains. Nostalgia. I will continue to try to recreate all the senses I felt when I’m there… I want to continue this dream, to progress and find my fulfillment: to live in a simple and beautiful state.
At the age of nine, we immigrated to Vancouver. I discovered my passion for art, design and music from my artistic parents. Upon receiving my bachelor’s degree in fashion design, I worked for multiple fashion brands. I further pushed my creative boundary by working for international design house Viktor & Rolf in Amsterdam, Netherlands. I continued my love for fashion as the Head Designer at Line and John+Jenn, then as a Senior Designer at Roots back in Toronto.
Under my own name, this is the next chapter of my journey...
