Enjoy Dopamine
Beijing, China — 2023
Garment Structure / Sensory Mapping / Material Contrast

This project explores the dynamics between inner emotional states and the body's response to external stimuli. It investigates how tension, vulnerability, 
and self-regulation can be expressed through contrasting material language and layered forms.

The collection was presented at the Reconstruction Shanghai fashion show, 2025.

Moveable Bones
Beijing, China — 2023
Pattern / Deconstruction / Silhouette Shift 

Inspired by traditional body treatment techniques, this project explores how directional force and movement can shape the structure of garments. 
The design focuses on how rotation, pressure, and body flow influence silhouette and construction.

The Shape of  Water
Beijing, China — 2022
knitted structure / Flow Mapping / Emotional Abstraction 
This project captures transient emotions and passing human encounters through the metaphor of water. By abstracting personal observation into spatial textures and layered surfaces, 
it creates visual systems that hold and freeze internal fluctuation. The work navigates between softness and structure, emotion and environment.



Trace
London, UK — 2025
Knitting / Inclusive Design / Public Space Design / Spatial Storytelling

This project is a spatial installation combining knitted panels with transparent structures, developed from fashion construction logic and the Möbius loop.
 It explores continuity and presence through material and form.
The project integrates fashion, knitting, spatial design, and inclusive principles. Textile is repositioned as an architectural medium, 
connecting individual traces to collective spatial experience.
The project is positioned for use in spatial and inclusive design contexts such as public installations, exhibition scenography, and soft interventions in shared environments.
 It can also be extended to immersive experience spaces, therapeutic environments, or modular systems for adaptive interior design.


Timeless Transit
London, UK — 2025
Sustainability / Cultural Heritage / Urban Mobility
Timeless Transit is a cultural mobility product developed from the restoration project of Hammersmith Bridge. By reusing disposed bridge materials, the e-scooter is designed as both
a sustainable transport tool and a mobile cultural symbol, linking local heritage with everyday urban mobility.
Developed in collaboration across Fashion, Innovation Design Engineering, Design Products, and Textile. I was responsible for CMF (Color / Material / Finish) design, 
focusing on product appearance and material identity.
