About me
I am an exhibition curator and event developer who has been involved in exhibition projects in the UK, China, and Australia. Before diving into curation, I studied and work in civil engineering and construction industry in Melbourne. However, driven by a passion for art, I pursued curatorial studies in London in 2021. Currently residing between China and Australia, I am available for projects in different regions. With a multidisciplinary background, I consider various perspectives in my work. I aspire to engage in more creative and interdisciplinary projects and look forward to connecting with like-minded friends.
