Born in the wild urban area of Yunnan, as a city cowboy (at least I think I am), I’ve spent the last decade collecting perspectives like Pokémon — from the Midwest winters of UW-Madison to the konbinis of Nagoya. My directing style? Think of it as a weirdly beautiful cocktail of American cheesecake, Japanese ramen soup, and a heavy splash of Chinese five-spice.

I cut my teeth at Wieden+Kennedy, where I learned that if an ad doesn't make you feel something (or laugh at yourself), it’s just noise. I also learned that the soul of a film is born in the cut. This "editor’s brain" allows me to see the final frame before I even yell "Action." Since going rogue in 2022, I’ve been on a mission to prove that empathy and a good "awkward" laugh are the only ways to survive the modern world.

I’m obsessed with the moments between the frames—the clumsy silences, the weird smiles, and the stories that make people say, "I thought I was the only one who felt that."
