About 

With over six years of experience in architectural design, I have honed my craft across multicultural environments, working with notable American, Japanese, and Chinese architecture firms. This exposure not only broadened my design perspective but also led to victories in several prestigious competitions, where
my projects were distinguished for their innovation and design excellence.

 I am well-versed in a suite of essential software, including Revit, Rhino, AutoCAD, Grasshopper, and Photoshop... etc. which has enabled me to bring complex designs from conception to visualization effectively. Furthermore, I have been actively involved in academia, proudly showcasing studio work at student exhibitions and contributing to the educational journey of future architects by serving as a juror for undergraduate final reviews. This combination of professional practice and academic engagement has granted me a comprehensive understanding and expertise in both the art and science of architectural design.
