ABOUT

Work with someone who gets it.

Everyone talks about thinking outside the box, but let’s be real, the real insight comes from standing on its edge—where you can see both sides.

Bonjour Hi, I am a Montreal-based creative director with over 10 years of experience shaping interesting fashion, advertising, and branding narratives. Drawing from my unique perspective—born in China, and raised in Canada—I bring a fresh, innovative lens to every project. My creative direction merges style with purpose, always focusing on sustainability, community, and inclusivity.

I’ve worked and collaborated with industry-leading brands like Sid Lee, SSENSE, Frank And Oak, Elle Canada, Rudsak, and the Ellen MacArthur Foundation. I specialize in crafting and shooting compelling campaigns challenging the status quo, blending storytelling, design, and content creation. Recently, I was head of content at Sid Lee and led the creative vision at Rudsak as their Creative Director.
Driven by a passion for innovation, my work inspires and captivates; I am never scared to try new things.
