SURPRISE!
I was born in 1983 in Taiwan, neither an artist nor a designer. I have been associated with art for more than 20 years. I just graduated from Pratt Institute from their Graduate Communication design program.
I am a thinker and a doer. To observe and explore the phenomena underneath the surface of things are my profession. My desire is to apply my observation experiences and my works to influence people’s behavior and uplift their physical and mental life.
Here is the thing: My working visa will expire in the next summer.
That means I only have a few month in this United States of America. Every second staying here is a wonderful gift. Therefore, I am keenly looking for an optimum company with vision and welcome me to work for them. I am enthusiastic to endeavor all of myself to get involve working and experiencing in United State. I will do my outmost and committed to the task in hand.
If you are interest in working with me, please feel free to contact me [email protected]

TAIWANtemple art
Museum of Taiwan Temple Art
Object: Logo design, business card, poster, ticket, stationary, banner
Description: This was an assignment from my visual communication class. We needed to design a Museum’s visual system. The challenge of this assignment was that I need to come up with a solution that could represent the complicated exotic culture in the plain way without losing its spirit. Therefore, I extracted the most significant parts of the temple and made them into a logo. In the image poster, I also utilize this idea and incorporated the stamp features to show the difference of visible and invisible treasure of the museum.

The Quirky Address Book
Object: Book design and Illustration
Description: This was a group project in my communication seminar class. We were asked to discuss a special ritual and do some research of the theme we choose, assemble and design it into a book. Our team was collecting different people’s special habits. In order to bring the result together, we made it into a phonebook. So this book will sort people not by their initial name but by their quirky rituals. In this book, I was responsible for the color palette, illustration and type treatment in all the front dividers.

IT IS NOT JUST A PEN --SKB18
SKB18 is an online magazine that four friends and I established in 2006 in order to let our creative spirit keep glowing after graduating from college. All of us are editors. We take turns to publish our magazine on the 18th of every month. Each month’s editor will decide a theme and we create works by the theme. In order to separate our magazine form others, we choose the most common and cheapest media--ball point pen as our core material. We believe creativity should not be limited by technology and specific tools. Our content also includes interviews of creative people all over the world in a variety of different fields such as graphic design, architecture, art, illustraton, etc ) We also invite others to contribute their rendition of the magazine theme of the month. This part is the extraction of my works in the magazine. See how the little pen did in SKB18!

SKB18 ONLINE MAGAZINE ISSUE7 SELF PORTRAIT
Self portrait --I thus spoke
“Everthing I do always comes back to me”
---Stefan Sagmeister
There is a saying that no matter how great an artist can paint, when he draws a portrait, it will look like himself eventually. Even the famous painting “Mona Lisa” does have Da Vinci’s self reflection in it.
Therefore, in order to create a realistic portrait, it’s better to draw a self-portrait.
The process of drawing self-portrait is the process of projecting one’s inner images outside.
I am a painstaking thinker
Those have four limbs
Things seem to be perfect at the first sight but the truth is not like that. We always see things in the way we want instead of it’s actural appearance.
SKB18 ONLINE MAGAZINE ISSUE3 THOSE HAVE FOUR LIMBS
Men and Women
Do you know that a pen has a gender?Do you know the pen you use everyday is a male or a female?There are some clues for you to make out the gender of your pens. 1. By sexual characteristics2. By color impression3. By the height of the heel4. By the length of hairs5. By the outfit
If those methods don’t work, I can just say: Even humans are hard to distinguish their sexuality, let alone the pen!

My wishes
Wishes are a desire that people always want but they can’t always get; therefore, they always make.
My wishes are that people can realize their wishes as soon as possible.

Farewell -- A Kiss Goodbye
Farewell can be one may not want to say goodbye mentally, but is physically necessary to do so. A goodbye may be for a few hours or forever. Although a kiss goodbye can happen just as sudden, it tells everything and infinitely more powerful.

Fly, sometimes it is because there is no way out.
