[ʃˈiːd͡ʒɪŋ] [ʃˈyː ]
In 2016, I completed my BA in industrial design at China Academy of Art in Hangzhou. Since 2017, I have been living in Berlin, where I completed my MA program in product design at the Universität der Künste Berlin in 2018.
With both my BA and MA projects centering around the topic of food culture and story, my design and research focus increasingly gravitated toward food-related experience and the social spaces created by cooking and sharing meals.
Current
– Working as part of the architect/design team in the studio of artist Julian Charrière, participating in the research and planning for the production of original artworks by Julian Charrière, and the design of their installation and exhibition.
– Freelancing at mixedmedia, assisting various contemporary artists with their art production.
– Voluntering at Bündnis Feuer und Flamme, an urban baking project with a communal open-fire oven in Mehringdamm, Berlin.
I am always looking for collaboration and exchange in or out of my focus area.
