I believe that great design strikes a balance between aesthetics and efficiency. My passion for architecture encompasses its historical, theoretical, and design-oriented aspects, as well as the technical and logistical phases of project execution.
I possess strong design, organizational, and problem-solving skills, enabling me to oversee projects from initial concept through final permitting and bidding stages. My experience spans residential, hospitality, retail, commercial, and industrial programs, providing me with a comprehensive understanding of design and project delivery.
Having spent over 7 years in China, I worked on medium- to large-scale commercial, retail, residential, cultural, and urban development projects. Since returning to the U.S. in 2018, I have been with Eric Owen Moss Architects, contributing to several published and award-winning projects, proposals and competitions, including the A+M House in Santa Monica and the Reese Davidson Affordable Housing Community complex in Venice, California.

This progression provided a comprehensive foundation in both the technical and administrative aspects of architecture.
