A little bit of everything I love:
Five days a week, you’ll find me in my lab coat, working with tiny stuff like cells and molecules. My main gig: building tools that help people understand what makes life tick, what makes us sick, and so much more about secrets of life.
When the lab coat comes off, my imagination takes another shape. I have a special love for jewelry, especially earrings that light up any occasion. What's more, I design my own jewelry and bring them to life using 3D printing. With an engineering background, 3D printing offered an ideal outlet for me to pursue my passion.
And then there's my canvas, where I like to paint the world in shades of shadows and light and let my dreams unfold in the palette of black and white. I'm no artist, but I enjoy it a lot.

Shadows & Light
I dream in black & white
Red is the color of confidence and power. Whenever you need some, just wear read.
Home is not a place, it's a feeling.
Open your eyes, for this world is only a dream. ~ Rumi
She is like a river: free and powerful.
