About 

Having recently graduated from the Master's program at Southern California Institute of Architecture (SCI-Arc), I am proficient with various tools and software for digital design and modeling. This knowledge is balanced with various hands-on experiences that gained me a good understanding of materials and construction techniques.

 

I worked at a number of small and mid-sized firms during my undergraduate and graduate studies-- in Los Angeles, Texas and Korea-- where I belonged to small teams that were responsible for every phase of given projects. I learned to tackle challenges as a team at various stages of the architectural design and production process. During these employments, I also proved to be a fast learner who could quickly absorb new knowledge in order to handle multiple, fast-paced projects successfully.
