About 

I have experience of living in China, Japan and U.S. for over 10 years. This allowed me to not only gain expertise in proficiency of three languages, as well as a deeper insight to how architecture transform from the influence of each culture. My communication skill grew stronger while I was getting involving in different communities, I learned to always be clear and precise of intentions and purposes. My interest towards the architectural practice is dynamic structures that accommodate the evolving needs during urban transforma- tion.
