About 

My architectural expertise is shaped by a rich and diverse educational background that spans across multiple countries, including China, Singapore, Canada, and the United States. This multicultural experience has afforded me a profound perspective on architecture, blending various cultural influences and design philosophies. I recently completed my master's degree at the University of Pennsylvania. Prior to that, I earned my bachelor's degree in Architecture from Virginia Tech. It has not only refined my technical skills but has also nurtured my ability to approach design challenges with innovative solutions, incorporating diverse cultural perspectives into my work. My educational background, spanning across different continents, has instilled in me a high level of adaptability, creativity, and a global outlook, making me well-prepared to contribute meaningfully to any architectural project.
