My Story

My journey began with a paintbrush. At seven, I started formal art training, drawing inspiration from various masters and styles. At thirteen, I discovered film, transforming my ideas into scripts, animations, storyboards, and concept designs. In high school, I wrote and directed documentaries and short films, learning editing and filmmaking, my works were showcased publicly, earning praise and bringing me happiness.

In addition to studying film courses, I  developed a strong interest in games and interactive media. I learned 3D tools like Maya, Unity, Blender, and Unreal Engine, alongside skills in C# programming, modeling, lighting, and rendering. I integrated the visual language of film and the aesthetic foundations of painting into 3D environment design, character modeling, and level design.

The rapid development of AI over recent years have captured my attention, prompting me to study and test AI tools in content generation, AIGC, AI modeling, virtual filmmaking, and image production. These cutting-edge technologies not only enhanced my efficiency but also accelerated the evolution of my creative tools and ideas. I realized that technology is not only a core driver of productivity but also the catalyst for creativity, artistic expression, and aesthetic innovation.

My experiences in art, filmmaking, gaming, and technology have broadened my perspective. With ongoing advancements in technology and computing power, I believe games will break the boundaries between narrative and interactive media.
