My Approach
Let’s create a sense of beauty and wonder in your surroundings.
Past & Present
Since childhood, I have witnessed my Taiwanese family search for energetic balance through the use of feng shui. Shifting furniture tirelessly, a water fountain in the bedroom, a perfectly placed crystal, patterns on a blazer to communicate a certain vibe. All these details working together to support and balance the whole.
As an adult, I have intuitively integrated many of these traditional practices into my life. Feng shui has been particularly supportive in my work with fine art collections. Whether I am organizing, documenting, installing works of art, or helping a client, I can use feng shui to bring a sense of harmony and a spirit that can elevate and uplift. I encourage taking pause, reflecting and rebalancing what does not serve you well.

Where Art & Feng Shui Intersect
My feng shui practice is from the lineage of Black Sect Tantric Buddhism. BTB feng shui color theory and philosophy relate to the elements: wind, water, fire, metal, and earth along with specific shapes: circles, squares, triangles, columns, and curved lines. These aspects inform how feng shui methods and cures are applied to the home. Influenced by my background in art and publishing, I have created sets of feng shui cards using modern imagery. They are used to enhance an altar, introduce an element into the home, or complement a cure you wish to carry through.
I hope the images will inspire and support you as much as they have done for me.
