Three quick things about myself

1
I was born in Shanghai and attended school in New York and Paris. So I am confident to say that being a global citizen has been an amazing journey. It started with a bit of stress, but the exposure to diverse cultures is totally worth it.
2
​Branding and Advertising are my starting points. Some say it's like working as a 'jack of all trades,' and that's what I love about them. From brand strategy, market research, to communication planning and UX design... There's so much to explore and integrate.

I'm a big fan of being multi-disciplinary, so don't be surprised if you see a mesh of design, project management, and EdTech in my profile. Feel free to reach out if you're interested or investing in any of the fields.

After a few years of working in branding and advertising, I found instructional experience to be deeply rooted in brand construction and client education. As a homecomer to NYU, my graduate studies focused on exploring the intersection of technology and learning, as well as the creation of engaging and effective user experiences. This program allows me to delve into innovative design principles and cutting-edge tech applications that enhance learning environments.
During my time at NYU, I challenged myself academically by exploring the combined tracks of Creative Design and Business Studies. This unique combination of design creativity and business acumen, coupled with international exposure, has provided me with a well-rounded foundation in my academic pursuits and career development.

I served as a Mexico market manager for the Cadillac Global Hub, where I guided global branding activities with strategic and visual direction. My role involved spearheading international brand activations, rebranding efforts, and rejuvenation initiatives through comprehensive strategic analysis and planning. I was responsible for overseeing over 200 task responses with a 24-hour turnaround, ensuring efficient monitoring of local market planning, brand implementation, local campaigns, social media content, and communications. Notable projects under my management included the Optiq World Premiere and the 2024 XT4 Debut. I also generated holistic periodical global reports to headquarters, providing critical insights into post-activation metrics and analyses, such as global market monthly reports and insights from the 2024 Beijing Auto Show, to inform strategic decision-making.
Working with 7 global teams, I have expertly served 10+ globally recognized TOP500 brands, including Dolby, Cartier, Fiture, Treasury Wine Estates, Remitly, and Geely. My expertise lies in Digital Transformation and Market Entry, focusing on brand experience design, product portfolio management, and integrated marketing strategies. A notable achievement includes leading the ChangAn Deepal Brand Experience Uplift project, resulting in an award-winning brand experience model and further partnership with C-suite leadership. Additionally, I spearheaded the Cartier Collections Innovative Consumer Research, providing strategic insights and analysis for brand renewal initiatives.
I had the pleasure of working in a leading packaging agency for my first full-time job. While growing my client and team management mindsets, I managed the branding and packaging deliverables for well-recognized FMCG brands, including Nestlé, Yili, Ferrero, and Unilever, achieving over ¥4 million orders and delivering 50+ SKUs for landing & production. I was also invited to attend the co-creation sessions with the Nestlé China R&D team. This experience allows me to envision a new product portfolio strategy and showcases the 2022 Plant-based Product Packaging Trends Report with professionals from different fields.
