About Me
I am a 16 y/o highschool student in Hong Kong. But never will this stop anyone from dreaming big.
Despite being stuck in college, I managed to do some things; designing for our school and successfully mass producing prints and products under the name of Pui Kiu and our student union. Having campaigned for the Student Union for three consecutive years—winning twice after an initial loss, I have grown tremendously alongside my teammates. My skill set also caught the attention of my teachers, who guided me into prominent local competitions across fields of design, art, and business.
Another thing I have acknowledged from working as a team for my project groups was the importance of a team, the strength of a team lies not in the number of people, but the quality of their mindset and ability. Thus why this website is here in the first place, for like-minded people like you to join our journey, or for me to join yours.
I began sketching at the age of 9 and mastered realism at 12. Started so early and practiced so hard often from dusk till dawn, believing the foundation is what supports a future skyscraper.
Because of this, 'just enough' has never been in my vocabulary, and it never will be for our team.
Currently I am driving two major projects, feeling back to when I was drawing as a kid.

About Me
Dreaming big, from Hong Kong
Despite being stuck in college, I managed to do some things; designing for our school and successfully mass producing prints and products under the name of Pui Kiu and our student union. Having campaigned for the Student Union for three consecutive years—winning twice after an initial loss, I have grown tremendously alongside my teammates.

Thus why this website is here in the first place, for like-minded people like you to join our journey, or for me to join yours.
Teachers love how helpful I am and highly value my skill. I have 7 consecutive wins and those I did with a teammate valued my art and design skills, but also my fast thinking and the flooding amount of ideas.
Because of this, 'just enough' has never been in my vocabulary, and it never will be for our team.
The journey
From pencil to product
Age 9
Began sketching. Pencils, paper, and endless curiosity.
Age 12
Mastered realism — practicing from dusk till dawn, believing the foundation is what supports a future skyscraper.
Student Union
Three consecutive campaign years — winning twice after an initial loss. Mass-produced prints and products under Pui Kiu and the Student Union.
Competitions
Guided by teachers into prominent local competitions across design, art, and business — 7 consecutive wins with teammates.
Now
Driving two major projects — a startup and a concept motorcycle — feeling back to when I was drawing as a kid.
Portfolio
Current projects
I currently am driving two main projects, a startup project and a concept motorcycle that we will put on the road.

Capabilities
Skills
Hobby 01
Arts & Design
Where it all started — sketching since 9, realism by 12. Move your pointer: the dots scatter, but they always come back to you.
Move your mouse — particles repel each other, attract to you
Hobby 02
Driving
Sim racing, sim drifting, karting. Tiny cars chase each other here — watch for the tire smoke when they drift.
Watch them chase — tire marks fade, smoke means drifting
Hobby 03
Koi Keeping
Culling and raising koi — patience in a pond. Click the water to feed them.
Click / tap the water to drop pellets — move too fast and they flash away
Hobby 04
Dog Keeping
Yes — the Google "dog" easter egg, cloned. Click anywhere and a paw will come say hi.
Click anywhere — a paw reaches out to touch it
