Getting design inspiration by walking around in Chengdu, Chongqing and Shanghai.
Every corner is a mix between tradition and innovation.
It's mindblowing 😍 You should definitely plan a trip there! And the food is chef's kiss
That’s the best kind of research.
When a city blends tradition and innovation like that, inspiration just happens naturally.

What would you tell your younger self as a designer?
I’ve been thinking about how many things we learn through experience - and how meaningful it would be to leave those thoughts behind for someone else. So I’m building a creative vault where designers can leave cassette tape messages for others to discover. It could be advice, encouragement, or just a reminder to keep going.
I’m building this for SheBuilds - a 48-hour global hackathon by @Lovable for International Women’s Day on March 8th, where women across 25 cities and online are building and shipping something real.
If you’re building for SheBuilds too, I’d love to see what you create once it’s live.
