About 

Phoebe Ou-Yang is an architectural designer located in Los Angeles, California. She was born in Taipei, Taiwan but was raised in Pasadena, California where she studied environmental design at ArtCenter College of Design and then later pursued an Bachelor‘s Degree in Architecture at The Southern California Institute of Architecture (SCI-Arc) in Los Angeles which was completed in 2020.

Throughout her education, Phoebe had an enthusiasm for the practice of architecture and architectural fabrication which was further refined when assisting in the completion of the Quicksilver Installation by Oyler Wu Collaborative. She is keen on pursuing experimental architecture as shown in her Thesis Project titled “Stadium +” where she and her partner (Abel Maqueira) challenged the confines of modern stadium programs.  

Employment
