A Bit About Me

As an aspiring fashion entrepreneur at Cornell University, I am passionate about design with thoughtful storytelling and technological operations. I’ve shown five original looks at New York Fashion Week’s Nolcha Shows, and some of that work was later featured by Harper’s Bazaar. In industry, I interned in Lacoste as the e-commerce team and at Esquire China I assisted on celebrity shoots and cross-brand campaigns. On campus, I direct marketing strategies for the Cornell Fashion Collective’s Business Ops team, contributing to the campus' second largest event: the spring fashion runway.
Raised in Shanghai, studied in Toronto, Vancouver, and Ithaca, I bring a diverse, collaborative approach and a global perspective to every project and career endeavors. Feel free to use the "Chat With AI" tool to find more about me!
