I was born in Taiwan and currently residence in Chino Hills, California, where I enjoy a simple, country-style life with my three cats, husband and an ever-growing love for clay.

My creative background spans interior design and jewelry design, and for many years my process began with a concept, followed by sketches and careful refinement on paper. That changed when I discovered clay. Working with this tactile, responsive material opened a completely new way of creating for me. Instead of designing first and forming later, I found myself gaining inspiration directly through touch—through shaping, altering, and even embracing the unexpected moments that arise in the making.

Clay taught me to let the form emerge naturally. Through play, experimentation, and patience, the piece slowly reveals its own character. This magical, hands-on dialogue is what drew me deeply into ceramics.

Over time, I transitioned fully into handmade ceramics. The more I learned, the more I discovered its limitless possibilities and the joy of exploring a medium that is both grounding and endlessly inspiring. Today, I continue to work closely with clay, creating pieces that reflect simplicity, curiosity, and the quiet beauty of the handmade process.
