While studying at the Yunnan University of Art and Design, I worked as a graphic designer at the Design Department of the International Convention and Exhibition Center in Yunnan Junyu, in the Pu'er City Museum and Gallery. I have been involved in design projects including the 2011 Second Green Design Competition which aimed at product design and material transformation. In 2010, I joined the team of "A Bu Jeans' Family".

By September 2012, we intend to commercialise our line of bags and briefcases made from recycled jeans. We will also establish a number of “A Bu Low-Carbon Community Clubs” in Kunming City as well as an “A Bu Low-Carbon Community for University Students” at the Kunming Institute of Technology where we will promote grassroots sustainability, and train community residents and college students to transform discarded goods into fashionable jewellery, clothes and accessories. Additionally, we will host a number of ‘A Bu Creative Flea Markets’ in Kunming where these goods can be sold. Ultimately, our ambition is to inspire companies in other industries, notably in China’s enormous home decor sector, to manufacture more consumer goods from recycled materials.

We want to use the funding and access to expertise provided through E-idea to set up subsidiaries in schools and communities, and to promote recycling and low carbon lifestyles on a far wider scale. In these centres, students and community residents will be taught to turn waste materials into creative designs. We further aim to reach agreements with commercial partners to sell our lines of bags and briefcases made from recycled jeans, and to use the profits to open a centre where we can promote our products as well as sustainable lifestyles.

By participating in the 2011 E-idea competition, we aim to strengthen our vision and the management and the direction of the low carbon studio. In the future, we aim to encourage college graduates to run low carbon businesses and expand the impact of low-carbon living.
