Description

Hello! I’m a 30-year-old woman from China, currently living and studying painting at the Academy of Fine Arts in Carrara, Italy.
Before coming to Europe, I studied Information Management at university and worked in Shanghai as a product manager in the internet industry. I’ve had the opportunity to work on projects in AI, e-commerce (like Temu), and the automotive industry (Porsche).
Two years ago, I decided to follow my long-held dream and dive into the world of painting. I moved to Italy and started a new chapter as an art student.
I consider myself a curious and open-minded person who enjoys exploring different places and ways of life. This summer, I’m hoping to travel across Europe, experience local cultures more deeply, and exchange my time and effort for meaningful experiences. I love the idea of connecting with people through hands-on work and using these adventures as inspiration for my painting and writing.
I’m responsible, easygoing, and always happy to help. Whether it's gardening, cleaning, painting walls, organizing, or creative projects—I’m always eager to learn and contribute.
Looking forward to meeting you and sharing stories together! 😊

More details about your skills

Since graduating from university, I’ve been living independently and have developed a strong sense of cleanliness and organization. I’m physically active and enjoy exercise, so I’m comfortable with physical work and won’t shy away from any kind of outdoor tasks. In fact, I love spending time in nature and feel very at ease around animals.
I enjoy cooking and can prepare a variety of Chinese dishes (stir-fries, dumplings, handmade noodles) as well as Italian pasta—after all, I’ve been living in Italy for a while now! I’d be happy to share some homemade meals and bring some new flavors to the table.
Thanks to my background as an internet product manager, I’m also confident with tasks involving digital platforms, tech tools, or content organization—so if you need help with anything web-related, I’ve got you covered.
Currently, I’m studying painting, so if there are any creative or artistic projects around, I’d love to help. I can also offer simple art sessions or share how creativity helps us find calm and connection in daily life.
As for languages: my native language is Chinese, and I can comfortably communicate in both English and Italian.
