About 

As a dynamic and ambitious architect with three years experience in architectural and interior projects, I am seeking to align myself with a company for strong growth. I received my Master of Architecture II degree in 2011 from the Cooper Union’s School of Architecture. I enthusiastically look forward to putting my knowledge and experience into architectural practical industry.

With excellent organizational, interpersonal, and communication skills, I am very well versed in all the details related with the architecture procedures. The scope of my experience includes supporting clients, creating conceptual designs, developing architectural drawings, managing budgets, schedule and generating detailed construction drawings and specifications. My meticulous attitude and methodical problem-solving skills ensure that every project I work on is done accurately in timely manner and of the highest standard.

Prior to my master’s degree in architecture, I had the experience working on architectural and interior projects in Taiwan. I have the ability to handle both macro scale (museum, luxury condominiums, private house and urban design), and micro scale (commercial & residential interior projects) at the same time. In 2010 I worked as a junior architect for Xrange in Taipei, Taiwan, where I assisted on the design and 3D rendering of the International Competition of National Museum of Marine Science and Technology in Taiwan. I also participated in the design of facade and construction of the Taiwan Rail Museum, which comprises 53,820 square feet and $30 million USD. As an architect assistant in 2004, I was responsible for the construction administration of Ant farm house project (5,385 square feet), which has been completed in 2006 and become one of the best villas worldwide. During 2007-2009, I worked as an interior design manger for W.Y.Z Designstudio, where I completed many commercial and residential interior projects.
