Specializing in Automotive CMF Design

I began my automotive design journey as an aspiring exterior car designer.

My passion and understanding for the way cars are designed and manufactured continues to influence my designs as I explore and dedicate myself in Automotive CMF Design. As a Taiwanese growing up in Shanghai and educated in an International environment, my multicultural background shapes my work and helps me view the world with a colorful, diverse, and unique perspective. 

Through my internship experiences, I’ve problem solved with design teams in pushing concepts to the limit, and working with suppliers to dial it back to make my design ideas a reality and into production on multiple occasions. My background in automotive exterior and interior design also means I’m able to simplify and expedite the workflow between design and CMF, helped by my ability to sketch, model, render, and animate just as well as exterior and interior designers.
