About

I am an experienced Sound Designer and Acoustic Engineer with over five years of experience in interactive and immersive audio design, specializing in creating unique sound systems for hardware, AR/VR, and non-traditional environments. I apply Human-Centered Design and systems thinking to product development, and I leverage tools like Wwise to build compelling and technically robust audio experiences.

I am a professional musician, specializing in the Chinese bamboo flute (dizi) and xiao. Through online teaching with students from various countries, I have developed cross-cultural communication skills. My musical background gives me a unique perspective on sound design, bridging artistic expression and technical implementation, and I have a comprehensive skill set from hardware development to software implementation.
