About 

I am enthusiastic about the Junior Designer role, following my graduation from SCI-Arc's M.Arch 2 program. My design philosophy combines meticulous attention to form with advanced technological integration, utilizing AI to expedite design iteration and improve aesthetic outcomes. With skills in algorithmic data processing, I am eager to apply these innovative solutions and technical expertise in real-world projects, aiming to evolve into a mature architect.

My tenure in prefabricated construction and architecture, notably as a Technology and Product Development Leader in Shenzhen, was marked by extensive involvement in projects from conceptualization to execution. I played a crucial role across all phases, from designing framework structures and wall layouts to overseeing interior design and final factory installation. Collaborating closely with the chief designer, we achieved our project objectives, culminating in successful builds in Zhejiang and Hangzhou. This experience allowed me to deeply understand and apply our company’s construction logic and management techniques, coordinating effectively with subcontractors and industry workers.

Complementing my practical experience, my academic background (SCI-Arc) and AIG (Shanghai Jiao Tong University) honed my expertise in AI and parametric design. I further enhanced my skillset by independently learning Grasshopper and Unreal Engine, enabling an interdisciplinary approach to design.

I believe my skills, along with my passion for innovative design and continuous learning, would enable me to contribute meaningfully to projects, particularly those that embrace cutting-edge design processes and an interdisciplinary approach.
