About 

As an architecture student who has an education background both in the US and China for nearly 6 years, I am particularly interested in how the design will facilitate people’s connections and social well-being. My experience allows me to provide a cross-culture perspective towards complex design issue, communicate well in both language and graphic, and think out of the box while collaborating. Apart from architecture working experience, I also have experience in directing stage play for two years, which facilitates my communication skill and organization skill.
