As a second-generation Chinese immigrant in Germany, I’ve spent much of my life navigating between feelings of estrangement and belonging. I’ve experienced, and continue to explore, the delicate balance between aloneness, loneliness, and connection. These personal experiences, alongside my ongoing search for a deeper sense of self and place in the world, led me to focus my work on what it means to truly connect—with ourselves, each other, and the world around us.

In addition to my cultural background, my agnostic upbringing sparked a desire to find a spiritual home. I explored different practices, from meditation and yoga to Zen Buddhism, particularly the teachings of Thich Nhat Hanh. Over time, I also developed a deep interest in philosophy and the human condition.

But it wasn’t just through words that I found meaning; it was also through movement, creativity, and embodiment. Dance, for me, is a vital language of connection. I’ve explored movement practices such as Fluentbody and Gaga movement language, as well as the depth of Berlin’s club culture, each of which helps us tap into our body’s wisdom. I also found great joy in painting, learning through intuitive and creative play, and masters of performance art.

Throughout my healing journey—from early therapy and trauma processing to holistic practices like EMDR and somatic and art therapy—I’ve learned that the process from loneliness to connection is one of constant exploration, vulnerability, and self-discovery.

Today, I am the initiator of The Oneliness Project, a community that fosters deep inquiry, connection, and care. Through this work, I engage a global community of 1K+ subscribers alongside offerings for individuals and organizations.

My background spans media, communications, and community building, having collaborated with global companies like Google, Porsche, Salesforce, and Volkswagen. I began my career in corporate marketing and digital agencies, transitioned to the startup world, and later worked with a global nonprofit focused on food and agriculture entrepreneurship. At the House of Beautiful Business, I played a key role in growing a community of 50,000 members committed to reshaping the future of work and economy through life-centered values, creating transformative experiences that drive innovation and positive change.

My mission remains to bridge divides, foster trust, and create spaces where people can feel truly seen, heard, and understood.
