Hello! I’m a Chinese-American artist and life-long band geek. I enjoy playing clarinet and cutting paper into cool shapes. Almost everything I make is based on concert band music, but I’m also inspired by visual motifs like music, nature, and cityscapes, plus emotional themes of isolation and wonder.

I used to hate papercutting! My parents sent me to weekly papercutting classes in 4th grade, and the only thing I ever produced was a weird-looking chicken that my dad framed and hung up in the bathroom. Fast-forward to 9th grade, and all I wanted to do was play music and make art. My first real papercuttings were created in math class using only a thumbtack and printer paper
