As an architectural designer who spent the majority of time between the urban and the suburban and traversed the geographies and cultures, I am observant and compassionate about the life of the city streets and the well-being of its communities.
Throughout my architectural design experience, I have used different ways to extend and enrich public life through architectural space-making. Through my multiple research and professional experiences, I have further investigated the theories, digital design, and graphic techniques required to realize new urban imaginations to advance the conversations.
As an emerging designer, I wish to contribute my passion and voice to the practice and create responsible and impactful urban spaces that can enlighten our shared communities.
