I try to bring the outside into the interior space, and I want my projects to explore the area’s potential. Spaces get enriched with meaning.
I enjoy the challenge of multi-disciplinary fusion projects such as integrating service design into the interior design; these interdisciplinary designs are essential for people and can bring more possibilities to a space. My goal is to inspire those who see my work to think more seriously about our world and to help us connect with specific events.
Before studying for a Masters in Interior Design at GSA, I completed my undergraduate degree in Art and Science in China, where I learned several design courses.

Love is Sensible- virtual dating community
As a result of the ongoing pandemic, people’s lifestyles have shifted in recent years, and online dating is a product of social and technological changes that have gradually transformed relationships into commodified games. The research aims to explore the possibility of a digital shift in intimacy. How the concept of metaverse can help to realise digital spaces and thus think about how to design virtual dating spaces and whether users in virtual worlds get a different dating experience.
I went through the use of an online dating app and aimed to experience the main features of dating apps from a user perspective and the different revelations that dating apps offer. The data came from an anonymous questionnaire (a total of 33 participants took part in my questionnaire), and its primary purpose was divided into two aspects. One was to find out how people mainly date and what they think about dating; the other aim was to find out what people know and what attitudes they have towards such apps, and I needed to find out what users want from such apps.
This study suggests that the application of dating apps is a medium through which individuals pursue love. Hopefully, this study will provide insight into how people use dating apps today and their role in developing intimate relationships. In addition, it is expected to understand the ideal form of dating and the outlook on digital dating. To find an intrinsic link between the research findings and the design, to help make reasonable speculations about the design space and to provide opportunities for speculative design to be engaged with. Rethink whether there are alternative ways of social interaction.

In 2030, AI robots and humans live together, with humans in the driver’s seat. AI learns human emotions and develops a sense of self. AI grows to believe that she is human and needs to be on an equal footing with humans. The humans have feelings for her but do not identify with her as a human. When the humans discover that the AI will not fully follow instructions, the humans believe that a crisis is coming ……
Emotions arise between humans and AI robots, and there is an emotional hold. However, the AI robot is constantly being updated, getting better versions after generations of obsolescence. The scientist who created the AI believes that this AI robot is unique and irreplaceable and has to escape with the AI. The site exists as a refuge or a laboratory function. I see it more as a refuge, self-sufficient energy through the wind turbine’s wind power.
Some forms and relationships produce relationships in space. I want to discuss the tension between humans and AI. Humans want to create AI but are afraid that AI will take their place and threaten them.
