About me
I graduated from Central Saint Martin, the 2nd best art & design university in the world, with a first-class bachelor's degree in Product and Industrial Design. During my university studies, I focused on sustainable design for the environment and humanities, aiming to provide convenient design experiences for different ages, genders, and races. I have strong modeling and animation skills, which gives me an opportunity to explore other industries. Therefore, after graduation, I interned at a jewelry design studio. After two years, I was promoted from an intern to a junior designer.

If it is wood from legitimate sources, the content on the receipt will provide some websites and communities to encourage you to continue
