As a former art director at Ralph Lauren Fragrances and freelance design consultant at Tom Ford Beauty in New York City, I would like to share my experience as an explorer of the "art of living" from anything and everywhere .

I have published three books:
New York Downtown Style (Chinese & English, 2006)–an insider view of the New York avant garde fashion scene.

New York Downtown Style:Witty Design Objects (Chinese & English, 2007)– featuring eleven design stories of everyday objects that carry a playful and unique New York downtown accent.

KyotEau: Bottled Memories (Chinese & English, 2009)–it describes my insights and experiences in Kyoto, and maps an epiphany as a journey between design and scent. KyotEau(Eau de Kyoto), the result of an intense collaboration with the perfumer Christophe Laudamiel, is a scent based on my sensory adventures in Kyoto.

I split my time between NYC and Europe.
