From iPhone4 to Innovator – How Apple Sparked My Entrepreneurial Journey and My Next Mission in Education

Back in 2011, the world was mesmerized by the sleek glass-and-steel design of the iPhone 4. For me, it was more than just a phone — it was a symbol of the future. That moment of inspiration ignited a spark that changed the course of my life.

Motivated by the potential of mobile technology, I launched my first startup focused on last-mile logistics. We were pioneers in China — building the first mobile app-based Click & Collect platform and successfully influencing major players like Alibaba’s Taobao to adopt parcel-collection-from-corner-shops, a concept that eventually helped shape the parcel locker services now seen across the country.

Looking back, Apple didn’t just inspire me with technology — it empowered me with possibility.

Today, I’m entering a new chapter. With the same passion that once fueled my startup journey, I now feel a strong calling to become an Apple Learning Coach. I want to guide young people and students — not just in how to use technology, but how to think differentlysolve real-world problems, and ignite their entrepreneurial spirit.

Apple inspired me to build. Now I hope to inspire others to dream big and build boldly, too.
