Hello, it’s Jules again!
I came to design by way of stories.
I studied finance, interned in journalism and advertising, and worked in marketing after graduate school in communication. Different fields, but I kept circling the same question: how do you tell a story that genuinely connects people?
It took me until my late twenties to name what I had been looking for. I had always been drawn to making, through words, visuals, code, and photography. Software turned out to be the creative medium that could hold all of them at once: something people do not simply look at, but move through, depend on, and make part of their everyday lives.
open to full-time roles + good conversations

In 1935, Shi Jianqiao shot and killed the warlord Sun Chuanfang in a Tianjin Buddhist temple to avenge her father’s murder.
A historical study built around a handful of legal cases, this book examines how the Qing state regulated sexuality. especially among marginalized people, in order to uphold a particular vision of the “normal” household.

On the surface, it’s a darkly satirical thriller about a desperate author willing to exploit someone else’s pain for success.
Having spent much of my early life in a digital landscape where many Western apps were inaccessible, I found its stories unexpectedly resonant. Their stories, woven together, show how artfully you can move through a digital world shaped by censorship, and how much invention it takes to keep moving.
Lean in this book explores how public passions was used by Shi to weave her own narrative in the mass media and turn her act of filial revenge into a public spectacle, generating massive popular support that ultimately led to her pardon

My earliest memory of that feeling is a silver iPod Shuffle my dad gave me in sixth grade, loaded with Faye Wong songs. It was tiny, impossibly sleek, and deeply considered. I do not remember it for being “frictionless,” intelligent, or AI feature-rich. I just remember how it felt, present enough to disappear in the moment, yet memorable enough to stay with me years later.
That is still the kind of work I want to make: useful, yes, but also human enough to leave a trace.
