Some folks call me Pan Square, bread-bread, MAYDAY. I have heard it all.

As a sound designer and composer, I explore creating sonic experiences that travel between heightened theatricality and emotional nuances. My work spans from theater, games, film, opera, and dance. I was awarded Second Prize in Emerging Sound Design and shortlisted as one of the 100 final exhibitors at World Stage Design 2025. Some of my theater credits include City Theatre, Chautauqua Theatre, Theater Mu, Creede Rep, etc. I sound designed the premiere of the contemporary opera “Time to Act” at Pittsburgh Opera, which will be featured in the commercial recording for national release on the award-winning classical label Bright Shiny Things.

As a Taiwanese native, I received my MFA from Carnegie Mellon University and B.A from UC, Irvine. I am an Assistant Professor of Sound at Michigan Technological University. I also serve as the OISTAT delegate for TSDCA.

With a classical voice background, I am fascinated by the innate musicality of sound design and love to create evocative, dynamic compositions through a blend of synthesis, acoustic instruments, real-time vocal processing, and sound effects.
