About me

Originally from Taiwan, I have been working in the entertainment industry since 2004 as a Lighting Technician. I have worked with many internationally and nationally acclaimed theatre and dance companies gaining substantial experience in the lighting department.

In 2007 and 2008, I had the privilege of working with one of Taiwan’s most esteemed Lighting Designers, Choo Yean Wong, as his assistant. Working with Mr. Wong not only allowed me a greater insight into the lighting design process, but also impressed upon me the importance of listening and communicating ideas both within a technical context and as part of a creative team.

My first professional lighting design appointment was for Jade and Artists Dance Troupe (Taiwan) for their 2010 tour of South Korea and Japan. As part of the touring ensemble I was able to recreate the design faithfully within each venue. Later in 2012, I was Head of Lighting when EDx2 Dance Company, from South Korea, performed in Taiwan. With six local lighting technicians under my supervision, I was responsible both for relighting, and show operation, in order to ensure the integrity of the lighting design was maintained.

Working in the theatre is more than a job for me. I am always eager to learn more about the different aspects of a production. When OVO, a production of Cirque du Soleil, toured Taiwan in 2013, I was appointed production assistant for the promoter. Throughout the assignment I proved my abilities to organise and liaise effectively with each production department.

Having toured throughout Asia, Australia and the UK, working with various nationalities and cultures, I am always open to new ideas and methods. I am also fluent in English, Mandarin and Taiwanese.
