Her works have been published in Vogue, BAZZER, COSMO, ELLE, PURPLE PEARL, ROIDX and other media. The original intention of establishing the brand is to keep the pure land in the heart, transform it into clothes, and serve you, so the brand name is "Esseri Senzienti ".

The character "和" (hé) is a gentle and soothing presence in Chinese culture, carrying multiple layers of elegance and profound meaning. It serves as a unifying force that bonds hearts and human connections. As Confucius taught, "The noble man achieves harmony without uniformity." Living in harmony with others while maintaining individual ideals and wisdom is the essence of true coexistence. Being kind to those with shared aspirations yet preserving one's unique voice remains a lifelong pursuit.
What made 2024 unforgettable for me was the opportunity to conduct research on craft art design with mentors, exploring ways to make China's intangible cultural heritage more accessible. Through this work, I aimed to bridge traditional craftsmanship with modern fashion communication, creating new pathways for cultural transmission.
In 2025, I plan to delve deeper into the intangible heritage techniques of wood carving and bamboo weaving. By experimenting with contemporary design languages while respecting ancient craftsmanship, I hope to create innovative works that showcase the timeless beauty of these traditions through fresh perspectives.
