About 

Grown up in France and China, immersed in both european and asian cultures since childhood, I have graduated in Paris from a double Master‘s degree both in Architecture & Civil Engineering. Learning concurrently Architecture and Engineering has brought me to a greater understanding of the built environment. From urban planning to detail's conception, crossing architecture and engineering skills let me grasp the design process with a transversal approach.
