I was heavily hands-on with medium to large scale commercial and institution projects, i.e. Creative offices in Los Angeles, UCSD’s Theatre District Living & Learning District in SD and CD phases, and Marshall College from competition all the way to the completion of CD phase. I'm known for my efficiency and creativity when it comes to building parametric design tools, delivering design iterations and comprehensive analytics. Also certified in LEED AP BD+C, I lead energy and cost-saving sustainable design approaches on various projects.
