FocusFashion × AI
Profile
My current work focuses on the intersection of Fashion × AI research and application. The path began with fashion education and atelier training across SCAD, Paris, and Milan, then continued through ready-to-wear and occasionwear design practice. At Tongji, that fashion training and industry experience became recommendation methods, explainable systems, and product directions inside Fashion × AI.
