About

I build at the intersection of AI, storytelling, and creative technology — translating narratives, world-building, and product thinking into next-generation entertainment experiences. With a technical background (BS/MS in Computer Science), an Oxford MBA, and hands-on experience launching creative products, designing brand identities, and developing narrative IPs, I’m passionate about how AI reshapes content creation, virtual characters, and immersive entertainment. My work blends: Narrative building (IP/world design, original fiction, character systems), Product sense (workflow design, user experience, creator tools), Creative operations (brand design, partnerships, social content, community engagement), Cross-cultural insight (US × Asia creativity and consumer behavior). I’m currently exploring opportunities in: AI-driven entertainment, creative tech, virtual content, creator partnerships, and narrative/creative product roles. If you’re building the future of entertainment, I’d love to connect. Selected for the Massachusetts Social Impact Program; blockchain-enabled real estate platform; experience across startup entrepreneurship; cross-border collaboration between US and Asia.
