Hello there.


Welcome to check out Double Wei Factory. So, my name is Weiwei, I am a Chinese-looking Swedish. I enjoy cooking, eating, friends, laughing and dogs! I make music and lots of creative stuff. I am an active person but not necessarily sporty. 

This website is developed by me and my cousin Yiming Bo! We hope you like it.
