About me
After a late-founded passion for interior styling and curation, I've taken my background in Strategic economics and Sustainability to join a decorative arts company as their Strategy and Operations director, with the mission to deliver both comfort and escapism to spaces through the medium of art. Based in both London and Guangzhou, I'm responsible for growth and change management, and building meaningful relations with clients, partners, and artists for the company. Driven by purpose, also aims to explore and expand the company's outreach capabilities and derive social value through art.
