About 

I am a final-year graduate student at the University of Pennsylvania, majoring in Architecture. I am born and raised in Hong Kong, where I graduated with my Bachelor Degree in Architectural Studies at the University of Hong Kong in 2013.

Last summer, I had a 3-month internship at Adrian Smith + Gordon Gill Architecture in Chicago. During the internship, I worked on the concept design of a number of skyscraper and planning projects in Dubai and Mumbai. I also helped with the BIM of several projects, and prepared drawings for submissions. In 2013-2014, I worked as an Architectural Graduate at Aedas Ltd, Hong Kong. During the year, I was involved in large-scale hotel projects in Macau, in aspects related to research and design studies, specifications, as well as technical issues. 

I am highly capable of 3D modeling, CAD/BIM, visualization and post-production. I am also proficient in English, Cantonese and Mandarin.
