Hello, my name is Adrian Wong. I am a young emerging professional currently developing technical skills through the accumulation of design opportunities. Keen on attention to detail and eager to meet individuals in the profession that can provide guidance in growing skills that are beneficial in the work environment or any future design endeavors. I am originally from San Jose and often commute back, but am currently living in Orange County. Strong believer that practicing architecture is a collaborative act.
