Hey, I'm Leo!
Dream of becoming the first designer to go to Mars and design habitable Mars products for future generations and explore the unknown. But for now, I'm focusing on self-improvement and find ways to create a small amount of good for a large amount of people.
My Hobbies:
🖥️ 🎮 🥋 🎨 🧭 🎬
Social:
I was born in Shenzhen. The Silicon Valley of China, the nearest city to Hongkong. It is a city full of hard-working, innovative young people with dreams, and it made me adapt to a fast-paced lifestyle. I then moved to several cities with my family and changed to multiple schools. And whenever we have a break, we love to travel somewhere we have never been to. By the age of twelve, we had traveled entire China and several other countries. These experiences broaden my horizons, made me capable of quickly adapting to new things, and always have an easygoing mindset.
◀ I consider design as a passion of mine. Whenever I have some free time, I would usually find some interesting design challenges to participate in, or, learn some useful design software/concepts from YouTube. That's why a lot of my friends think of me as a workaholic who works for 12-14 hours a day, but in fact, I was just enjoying it.

But certainly, I'm not a person with no life. I love to work out, play video games, watch anime/movies, and practice martial arts.
🎮Recently play: Sekiro, Oxygen Not Included, Genshin Impact, Hades.
🥋Taekwondo: Manitoba provincial tournament Gold & Bronze
◀ I also love Chinese calligraphy and hand drawings. Before I enter the field of design, I practiced traditional arts for 10 years, Chinese calligraphy for 5 years, and visited many art galleries and museums around the world. And those practices were no waste as they cultivated my patience and developed good visual structure and color combinations.
🎨Some admire artists:
Claude Monet, John Constable, Caravaggio, Vincent Van Gogh, Albrecht Durer, Leonardo da Vinci (I wonder where my name came from...)
And By the way, I also collect Mona Lisa images, currently have roughly 2000+ of them. Weird, I don't even remember how this started. I also draw Mona Lisa. Here are my oil painting and some of my collections.
(Disclaimer: I don't own any of them other than my drawings, I collect them just for fun and my profile pictures.)
▼ Travel and photography:
As China's old saying goes: "Read ten thousand books, travel ten thousand miles." I love to travel out of my comfort zone and learn something about myself and the places I have been. These travel experiences shaped me into a more mature and cultured person than I am today.

I enjoy the process of design, the learning outcome of a challenge, and solving problems for others. I also enjoy self-improvement and finding something new to do, so I can add some color and richness to my life. I believe a lot of future problems can be solved with design, and make the world a better place. And I am looking forward to being part of that journey.
