About

Hello! I am a journalist, editor and speaker from Hong Kong, focusing on fashion, travel, design, celebrity, beauty and culture. I currently serve as the editor-in chief at #legend, a luxury lifestyle monthly magazine based in Hong Kong.

Former Fashion and Features Editor at Prestige Hong Kong (2017-2020) and contributing editor at Women’s Wear Daily, Hypebae, and Magazine B, I have met and interviewed a host of celebrities and noted personalities including designers Kris van Assche, Gherardo Felloni, Michael Kors, Amy Smilovic, Yoon Ahn, Gabriela Hearst and Julie de Libran, emerging fashion talents Marine Serre, Kevin Germanier, Sander Lak, Feng Chen Wang and Yat Pit; business titans Alison Loehnis, Jean-Marc Mansvelt, Jean-Marc Loubier and Silvio Camparo; photographer Nick Knight; designers Zaha Hadid Architects, Tom Dixon, Neri and Hu, AvroKO, JP Molyneux and Antonio Citterio; celebrities Michelle Yeoh, Doona Bae, Siwon Choi, Ha Ji Won, Jane Birkin, Maye Musk, and Elizabeth Debicki and brand founders Andrea Bucellati, Edoardo Caovilla, Sarah Chapman and Augustinus Bader. I have traipsed from Zimbabwe to the Maldives, London to Marrakech, Bermuda to Paris, Aquitaine to Austria, Seoul to Singapore and many places in between, in search of the very best in travel. 

As a stylist, I have styled editorial and cover shoots for Prestige Hong Kong Magazine, working with photographers Leung Mo, Gregory Wong, Issac Lam, Olivier Yoan, and Marguerite Bornhauser, commercial catalogues for SCAD, and look books for London-based brand Susy Harper. Additionally, I have hosted in-store styling sessions for VIP customers at Loro Piana, and have worked on visual merchandising for Claudie Pierlot stores across Hong Kong and China.

As a speaker, I have delivered the opening speech at a TED Talk organised by the Hong Kong Baptist University. I also participated in a fashion media panel on how female entrepreneurs can best capture media attention during CentreStage, an annual fashion convention held in Hong Kong. I was a panelist at Hong Kong Youth Square’s annual Book Festival and a speaker for Dadi Overseas Studies Service Centre discussing the overseas academic experience, a video which has since garnered over 200,000 views on YouTube.

As a fashion consultant, I have worked with JSMP Store on developing a new shirt in 2019.

Previously, I interned at Tank Magazine after graduating from the University of Pennsylvania with a BA in English Literature and Political Science and from UCL with an MA in Shakespeare in History.
