My films explore how larger social and political questions translate into intimate stories of family, love, identity, and human relationships. I'm especially interested in how people navigate cultural and societal change, negotiate their sense of self and belonging, and seek to understand one another and their place in the world.

I'm also an HCI researcher advised by Professor Qian Yang. My research explores how emerging technologies reshape creative practices, particularly the evolving relationships between humans and technology. I'm interested in how intelligent systems can support human agency and craftsmanship through experimentation, iteration, and artistic judgment.
