About

I am a composer and sound designer based in Los Angeles, blending music, sound design, and live performance across film, games, and dance. I create evocative soundtracks and immersive soundscapes that support storytelling and movement.

I trained at Columbia College Chicago and National Sun Yat-sen University, and I have worked as a principal cellist, educator, and collaborator on theater, dance, and multimedia projects. My work spans freelance scoring, orchestra collaboration, and experimental performance, with a deep interest in cross-cultural collaboration and audio-visual storytelling.
