“Sometimes I see myslef as ‘outsider’ because I believe it is important to take an ‘outsider’s’ point of view to remove personal prejudices，foster objectivity and Look at things from a more holistic perspective. I also like engaging in critical and speculative thinking which helps me to explore possibilities in unconventional ways and I find it very exciting to participate in the process of turning an intangible idea into a tangible project.”
