Born in 1980s Hong Kong, Dylan was influenced by Japanese culture from a young age. Following his studies in Toronto, he joined Burdifilek Design Studio, contributing to high-end projects like Benefit Cosmetics and W Hotel. Drawn to Nordic design philosophy, Dylan moved to Finland, where he worked part-time at architectural firms. In 2010, he received the Best Master of Arts Thesis Award from Aalto University and was honored in the Helsinki South Harbour Concept Competition (Kirjava satama) as an independent participant.
In 2009, he received the Hong Kong Young Design Talent Award and after returning to Hong Kong, Dylan started to collaborate with institutions such as CUHK and the Hong Kong Polytechnic University. In 2017, he and his team introduced the innovative Hack- a-Bench concept in the “Seats Together” project, revolutionizing traditional park bench designs and influencing public seating in Hong Kong.
In 2022, he began an apprenticeship with Master Chan Lok Choi to learn the art of bamboo birdcage making, culminating in the publication of Open Birdcages, which preserves Hong Kong's intangible cultural heritage.
