"Let me live, love, and say it well in good sentences." — Sylvia Plath
Why I Write
Although I’m a motion designer who spends most of my time thinking visually, drawn to color, form, and movement, I’ve always believed in the quiet power of words.
Writing gives shape to my scattered thoughts. It helps me slow down, reflect, and stay curious.
In a world full of eye-candy and fast content, writing grounds me. It forces me to observe more closely, to absorb deeply, and to think more clearly.
I often have thoughts circling around creativity, art, design, and the little things in life, and I’ve found it fascinating to document them, to untangle them with words, and to share them with others.
What I Write
I write to think, to learn, and to connect.
Sometimes it's about documenting the creative process, sharing the story behind a project, the challenges, and the small details that made it work. Other times, it’s my response to what's happening around us, like trends, tools, and shifts in the motion design industry.
Writing helps me go beyond just moving keyframes. It keeps me curious, helps me stay sharp, and reminds me that being a good animator isn't only about knowing how to operate software.
As Paul Rand once said, "You don’t become a creative genius just because you have a computer."

Where I Write
I share my writing across a few different platforms, each with its own style and focus. Some posts are quick thoughts or project snapshots, while others dive deep into creative thinking, personal growth, or behind-the-scenes breakdowns. I write in both Mandarin and English, depending on the platform and the audience.
Here’s where you can find me:
Short, spontaneous ideas. *Mandarin
I use Threads to capture quick thoughts, reflections on creativity, or something that caught my attention today.
Professional insights and project updates. *English
I post about animation trends, design processes, and creative lessons I've learned from client work.
Vocus
Long-form writing in Mandarin. *Mandarin
This is where I go deeper, sharing case studies, detailed behind-the-scenes, and thoughts on growth as a designer.
Medium
Essays and creative reflections. *Mandarin
Sometimes I write to explore an idea, share observations from the design world, or practice expressing thoughts more clearly through writing.
