daniel lu

hi! my name is daniel lu 🍡

developing and designing a website to encapsulate ☰ my works, ✎ᝰ my words, and ᨒ ོ my world.

for all of 2025, i am studying abroad for the whole year in pursuit of painting myself a more colourful life: even more paints of inspiration, observing cultural and societal differences/similarities with my own eyes, resonating with the stories from those who i am honored to meet in the places i visit.

during this time abroad, i aim to rekindle a sense of strong passion, fulfilling purpose, and meaningful craftsmanship i once possessed. during winter and spring, i am studying abroad at tsinghua university (清华大学) in beijing, china under their school of law (法学院). as for summer and fall, i will be attending elisava school of design and engineering in barcelona, spain, specializing in a design focused programme. i will be returning to uc san diego in winter 2026.
