About 

Growing up in South Africa as the child of Taiwanese parents, I've been fortunate to experience the intersection of two vibrant cultures firsthand. Completing my Masters in architecture at the University of Cape Town further solidified my passion for design and its potential to shape communities and along with my diverse upbringing has instilled in me a deep appreciation for the importance of inclusive and well-intentioned design. It has enabled me to empathize with different perspectives and understand the diverse needs of various populations. As I embark on my journey as an architect, I am committed to leveraging my background to create spaces that resonate with and serve people from all walks of life.

Currently I am living in Japan, teaching English before I dive back into the architecture industry. Any networks or advice is always appreciated

Nice to meet you!
