I have been painting since I was five years old, drawing inspiration from my uncle, who is an artist. I received professional training in art at a high school where I learned how to bridge art and design. My passion for design grew during my schooling years, and I have always been inspired by how good design can connect people and solve real-world problems.

Upon entering university, I enrolled in various design and computer science-related courses to explore my interests. My hard work in academics paid off when I participated in design and technology workshops, particularly the Design and Innovation Double Degree Program. During this program, I collaborated with members of the Eindhoven University of Technology to create a product called Miss Ball, which was aimed at helping elderly people connect with their family members, especially those overseas. The idea for this project came to me during my exchange experience in Australia, where I found it difficult to communicate with my grandmother because she had trouble using video calls. Our product utilized Processing and Arduino to create an interaction product that allowed elderly people to touch the ball, which would then light up on the younger person's side, conveying a message of "missing you." This experience solidified my understanding of how design can work together with innovation and technology to solve real-world problems.
