My Story
I grew up in central Taiwan, in a world woven from temples, markets, sugarcane fields,
and long family conversations around the table.
Those early scenes — incense smoke, night markets, the smell of simmering broth and brown sugar —
shaped my sensitivity to land, flavor, and the quiet ways people care for each other.
Later, my path moved through agriculture and supply-chain research, social enterprise,
community development, and international networks such as Rotary and IYFR.
Because of this, I often stand at the intersection of many worlds:
farm and factory, harbor and classroom, local life and global systems.
From Field Notes to System Maps
Over time, I realised that what I do is not only “writing” or “consulting”,
but observing how systems behave through everyday details.
A stray dog at a factory gate, the way a farmer feeds their working dog,
a cup of tea shared in silence — these are small details that reveal how a system treats people and land.
Today, I describe myself as a cultural systems observer:
someone who reads the structures beneath daily life, and turns them into stories, maps, and strategies
that others can use.
