Art meets new tools

AI-assisted imagery
& moving image.

I’m currently developing my practice in AI-assisted image creation and film, building on a background in drawing, visual design and game art.

My current learning and experiments focus on visual development, character consistency, composition and storytelling across moving images.

Art & experience

Design, grounded in art

An artist’s foundation.
A designer’s practice.

I’m a California-based designer and artist with more than 15 years of experience across games and brands. My practice moves between drawing, visual development and art direction, shaping both individual works and the visual systems that connect them.

I studied at the Academy of Arts & Design, Tsinghua University. Drawing remains a part of how I think — about character, proportion, color and what an image needs to say.
