She teaches embroidery techniques, knitting fabric design and other technique application programs related to fashion design. In addition to teaching, Ms. Lu also presents various types of research works of innovative design on a regular basis.

Each work mainly uses thread substance for its design material. With various types of thread substance, the works are well presented at their diverse appearance by combining living art and multiple techniques of embroidery or felting. In addition to embroidery techniques, including Machine Work, Drawn Work, Needle Weaving, Line Stitch, Canvas Stitch, and Knots Stitch, the mixing design of water-based fabric and felt material is also employed to complete two innovative fashion design attires-"Line Fate" and "Forest Path". All the works catch the elements of art, living, and innovative design, and display the design concepts of cultural innovation and living art. The Exhibition is expected to demonstrate the creativity and ingenuity of the innovative works blending Taiwanese art and living to the International Community in New York.
