About 

I hold the Bachelor of Architecture degree in Central South University. And I also hold the Master of Science in Advanced Architectural Design degree from Columbia University. 

After graduation, I worked in Preliminary Research Office in New York. I did four scheme design for multi-functional libraries by using Rhino, and did sectional drawings by Autocad and Illustrator. Besides, I also worked on an urban design project for 2022 Beijing Olympic Winter Games. I did the urban transit system research and topography studies for the site and made several drawings. Previously, I worked for three companies for internships in China. My job including doing scheme designs for Villas on Loess Plateau, Museums in Changsha, Restaurant beside Liuyang River.

I am proficient in using Rhino, AutoCad, SketchUp, Photoshop, Illustrator, Vray, Indesign, Microsoft Offices, Grasshopper, Revit, 3dsMax etc. I’m adept at doing Scheme Design and Detailed Design, and I can also do Construction Documents. Other than architecture design, I also interested in interior design, furniture design and visual merchandising. I have excellent time management skills. I know how to work efficiently and scientifically arrange my time of the day. I’m willing to learn any skills that are required in your office. I’m also a team player. I’m proactive and self-motivated about the work and willing to help other team members. 

Drawing insight from the cultural and social issues, my design philosophy is to foreground the relationship between individuals, communities, and the environment. I wish people could feel, touch, and sense the essence of the concept through their experience in the architecture. A good design should speak for itself, and convey the idea by the arrangement and atmosphere of the space.

I’m seeking for more work opportunities in my career. I’m legally authorized to work in the US. And I’m available to work now.
