As holding both Bachelor‘s degrees in Landscape Architecture and Interior Design, I have spent considerable time developing and enhancing understanding of architecture, contemporary art, and ecology. Prior to studying landscape architecture, I had brought solutions and commitment to resolve interior design’s issues for a wide range of industries during my 18-year career. I currently work for a development firm to transform a 450-acre agricultural site that is adjacent to ShangHai, China into tourist resorts and recreational communities.

In addition to a long-term graphic training, my interest in botany has aroused my eagerness to engage in ongoing professional development. In the studio, the core curriculum from the Landscape Architecture department has provided an integrative approach to design, which has also advanced my capabilities presenting ideas to a range of audiences, as well as transforming landscape data into visual forms to present the land use changes and its ecological consequences.
