About 

Currently I'm enrolled in the MDes program in Harvard GSD with concentration on Technology, pursing my studies and research towards to computational design and digital fabrication.

Before moved to Cambridge, as an architectural designer with experience in small scale residential and commercial,  I worked in 3 offices on different projects, contributed on construction documentation, material research, site analysis, conceptual design, 3D modeling, and production quality rendering.

Graduated from Southern California Institute of architecture in September 2015 with MArch I degree, I developed strong 3D modeling and visualization skill which helped me produce high quality office work.
I'm also proficient on digital fabrication such as 3D print, CNC milling, and laser cut, very good at trouble shooting and convert digital work into physical representation.

Beside architecture, I worked in last three years as SCI-Arc photographer and took photo for school event and exhibition. Lots of my photo was published by school's website and press. I studied art history for my undergraduate, practice and art and photography is my long time hobby.
