My Background
I am a Chinese Jamaican-American fiber artist and a Junior at SCAD/BFA in Fibers, born and raised in Miami Beach, Florida. I specialize in surface design, fiber fine art and soft sculpture, creating work that blends tactile storytelling with playful form.

Textiles are my visual language and my bridge to emotional connection. Through my studio practice and brand, Noodlepudding, I develop soft product collections from concept to production, transforming ideas into vibrant, touchable worlds of character, texture, and narrative.

During my studies, I interned at Dadimo Design in Miami’s Design District, crafting fine garments under the former Design Director of United Colors of Benetton Kids (Italy). It was there that Noodlepudding was born; first as a line of soft sculptures and digital characters, and now as an evolving universe of fiber-based art and design.

Founder of Pudding Buddies - An Advocacy Story 
Pudding Buddies is a line of soft toys I designed as sensory tools for neurodivergent kids. My innovative business pitch earned first place among over 23,000 applicants from Florida, Georgia and South Carolina, in the SouthEast Regional National Foundation for Teaching Entrepreneurship (NFTE) Youth Challenge. With the invaluable support of NFTE and The Hunter Watson Fund, offering me combined awards and grants totaling over $10,000, I successfully completed my first mass production toy run. I am so proud to bring these comforting toys to market to reach the children who need them most.
