Description

Hello! I am a 31-year-old woman from China, currently studying painting at the Academy of Fine Arts in Turin, Italy. Before coming to Europe, I studied Information Management at university and worked as a product manager in the internet industry in Shanghai. I had the opportunity to be involved in projects related to AI, e-commerce (Temu), and the automotive industry (Porsche).

Two years ago, I decided to follow a long-held dream and devote myself to the world of painting. I moved to Italy and began a new chapter in my life as an art student. I consider myself a curious and open-minded person, and I enjoy exploring different places and ways of living. This summer, I hope to travel around Europe, experience local cultures more deeply, and exchange my time and energy for meaningful experiences.

I enjoy connecting with people through hands-on work and using these experiences as inspiration for my painting and writing. I am responsible, easy-going, and always willing to help. Whether it’s gardening, cleaning, painting walls, organizing spaces, or participating in creative projects, I am eager to learn and contribute. I look forward to meeting you and sharing stories together! 😊

More details about your skills

After graduating from university, I have lived independently for many years and developed very strong habits when it comes to cleaning and organizing. I enjoy sports and outdoor activities, so physical work is not a problem for me, and I am happy to take on all kinds of outdoor tasks. In fact, I truly enjoy being close to nature and feel very comfortable around animals.

I love cooking and am especially good at preparing Chinese home-style dishes (such as stir-fries, dumplings, and handmade noodles), as well as pasta—after all, I’ve been living in Italy for some time! I’d be very happy to share my home cooking and bring some new flavors to the table.

Thanks to my experience as an internet product manager, I’m also confident with digital platforms, technical tools, and content management. So if you need any help related to online tasks or digital work, I would be glad to assist. At the moment, I’m studying painting, and if you have any creative or artistic projects, I’d be happy to help with those as well. I can also offer simple art lessons or share how creativity can help us find calm and connection in everyday life.

As for languages: my mother tongue is Chinese, and I can communicate in both English and Italian.
