About 

I have worked on multiple projects involving design and construction phase of residential, offices, and public buildings. My parents are successful architects in China. My father owns his architecture firm for 20 years. I have accumulated extensive connection to Chinese architecture and real estate field.  My family background has given me the opportunities to be around with the most famous architects, and build connections with best architecture firms in the world and I have picked up the architectural nuances and cultural specifics of various places. 

I received a bachelor degree of Architecture at University of Southern California in 2014. I am also adept at using designing software such as Rhino, Maya, SketchUp, Mental Ray, AutoCAD, and Adobe Suites. Strong graphic communication skills allow me to make accurate and high-quality designs.

I have consistently been appreciated for my problem-solving skills and my ability to identify even the minutest of gaps or problem within a design. I am also a good team player. I speak English, Mandarin and Cantonese. 

I run a Official WeChat Account called Xixili, I write about art, design, architecture and visual illustration. I also write columns for two Chinese website, iKuku.cn and Artistmeetingpoint.com
