ABOUT ME
I began my design journey with a 4 years' training in architecture major at the University of Washington. And after 3 years' gap for working in Atlanta and Shanghai and gaining a lot of experiences in diverse types of projects, I decided to go back to school and study more about the most cutting-edge technology and knowledge in this field in Georgia tech.
I see myself as a designer who always keeps an eye on the renewal of the world and pay attention to various disciplines including architectural, UI, interior and landscape design. I am excited to explore in the intersection area of different fields and would like to integrate them into my design language.
