Photography |
I have a deep passion for capturing and preserving precious memories through photography. The act of taking pictures has transformed the way I perceive the world, as I have learned to pay closer attention to even the smallest details. When I view the world through the lens, everything around me appears in a different light, revealing the inherent beauty that surrounds us. It is a remarkable experience that allows me to appreciate the abundant beauty that exists in every aspect of life.

Photography also serves as a source of enjoyment and tranquility amidst my academic studies and work. When I immerse myself in the process of capturing images, all my worries and stresses simply dissolve away. Moreover, photography continually presents me with fresh challenges, allowing me to constantly learn and grow in the field.

Graphic Design |
I have a great passion for graphic design. My portfolio includes a wide range of design projects such as invitation cards, decorations, flyers, book covers, printed annual reports, tickets, web flyers, and infographics. I used to work as a graphic designer for the Women's Leadership Institute. You may check the Annual Report design.

Additionally, I incorporate my graphic design skill into my teaching and research endeavors. I consistently strive to create isually appealing course materials to enhance the learning experience for my students (check example course materials). Furthermore, my graphic design proficiency has been recognized through the receipt of outstanding academic poster awards at the AAACE conference 2014, 2016, and 2017.

Game Design
In addition to graphic design, I am currently involved in the development of a detective game set in ancient China, which I am working on with my friends. In this project, my primary responsibilities include graphic design, coding, and occasionally contributing to the story outline. The game was first published on July 5th, 2016. My experience in game design has also sparked an interest in exploring the use of various high-tech tools for teaching purposes.
Inspired by this, I have undertaken a research project titled "Utilizing Online Educational Games to Enhance Adult Learning," where I investigate the potential of game-based learning in the context of adult education. *The picture of the game cover. - The link of the game: http://www.66rpg.com/game/612334 - It has been purchased and played by 811 players (Updated: 1/24/2017) |
Podcast
As a hobby, I am also a podcaster on Himalayas FM, a popular Chinese podcast platform. Through my podcast channel, I strive to offer listeners insights into U.S. university life and provide practical English language skills for those planning to visit the U.S. The transition from a hobbyist podcaster to a professional context has inspired me to explore the use of radio-based tools as a means of delivering knowledge and valuable information to diverse learners in the future. Building on my experience in podcasting, I aspire to utilize these tools to effectively engage and educate audiences on various subjects. *The screenshot of my podcast. - It has been listened by 3187 people (Updated: 1/24/2017) |
