Officially start my fashion career in the beginning of the year 2012, I moved from my beloved Europe to New York City. 

I always have a lot of ideas on fashion design so I want to make them come true. Owning a fashion line myself is my long term goal eventually. Someday there will be people wearing my designs but now I need to start from the beginning. 

Besides working as a full time pre-production coordinator in apparel company, I spend most of my spare time on fashion sketches and taking related garment making courses. It's never too late to make that dream come true. 

SocialMedia Research

X

I went to Universiteit van Amsterdam for Master study in 2009, majored in Media Studies:New Media. I am specially interested in Social Media, since the Chinese Internet is a network of itself, and most of my research was based on the freedom of information in China.

After my graduation, I have interned as Social Media Specialist and Online PR intern.And have gained working experience from both entertainment (fashion) and online marketing (SEO oriented) companies.

I am a blogger and SEO novice, familiar with social media networking. I have developed social media plans across all platforms (including Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Digg, blogs, Tumblr etc.) to reach buyers during my internship. I also have great knowledge of online publicity, and know how to affectively communicate with consumers and fans. I also highly understand the blogosphere and social media landscape, including Web-based promotion for products and events.

 I used to run my own Social Media Research Blog "Social Media Fish" and also contributes to the "Masters of Media" blog, the collaborative blog of the new media master students of the University of Amsterdam.(Please visit :http://mastersofmedia.hum.uva.nl/)

 

Though now social media research is not the focus of my life anymore- it is great to have social media knowledge for any online promotions.  

Paranoid Planet

"Paranoid Planet" is a story about a paranoid girl living in a paranoid world. I specially created this "Paranoid Planet" for her, because I believe there is a paranoid-self living in every heart.

All pictures are inspired by true stories around me actually, they are mostly about friendship, love and life.

But life is still beautiful. This paranoid girl never gives up.

About Cici

Img 1718

 My name is Cici. A small town girl from China, currenly living in New York City.

I always say that the only Oriental thing about me is my face, since I have been on the road for a long time.

I enjoy living in a foreign country, actaully "leaving my hometown" is the decision I made when I was 12. For the past nine years, I have been living in five major cities in the world, including Asia, Europe and North America. I went to graduate school in Europe (beautiful Amterdam ), and then came to New York for my American Dream.

"On the Road" and "Gone with the Wind" are books that changed my life. Most stories happend in my life were influenced by them somehow. Experiences of living abroad broaden my horizon day by day. I have been doing uncountable part-time jobs to survive, I have been lost in the beauty of love, I have seen the most wonderful sunset, I have made greatest friends from different countries...I have been high, I have been low, but life just leads me to a better myself.

When you are young, you need to take off. And when you are young, you have to live in New York City.

Chinese Writing

X

I love reading and I started to write since I was little.

 

You can find some of my articles in a few national magainze, like the "National Geographic Traveler"(November, 2011) and "Map" (Nanjing Issue, Suzhou Issue,October, 2012) etc. Bust most of my stuff are in my personal blog (Please visit: http://36215862.qzone.qq.com/) which was launched in 2005 and it has been a platform for my life stories. 

 

I am glad that my stories inspire similar people as me who still lives in China, and with all those kindly comments they left, I never feel I am walking alone.
