I build the stage. Players write the story.

我搭建舞台，故事由玩家自己写成。

I am a game designer with experience across console, PC and mobile games, spanning systems and level design, creative direction, production and team collaboration. I entered the industry in 2007, working on Top Spin 3 for Nintendo DS, Catch Louise and G-war Online, with roles in systems design, level design leadership and lead game design.

From 2010 to 2014, I worked on Monster Hunter Online at Tencent, developing level design standards, missions, dungeons and content production pipelines, and serving as Scrum Master for a cross-functional team. In 2014, I founded Solin Games, where I worked as CEO and producer on Dragon Flare, MEET and Duel Tavern. After returning to Tencent in 2017, I served as a project initiator and Creative Director at NExT Studios, followed by Lead Game Designer on Arena Breakout at MoreFun Studios.

From 2022 to 2023, I was Lead Game Designer on an anime-style open-world project at TiMi F1 Studio. Since 2023, I have served as Europe Lead at Tencent IEG’s Game Research Center, based in Amsterdam.

I also teach and share game design practice, including a talk on player-driven storytelling at TGDC 2021, Tencent game design courses and the video game workshop at Shanghai Jiao Tong University. Outside games, I photograph cities, people and everyday life.
