About 

My Design spirit always combines the sensibilities of architects, artist, film maker and poet. Besides architecture projects, I did a lot of art works as well. But I still think that architecture is the language I would like to use to express my understanding of people, life and environment around us. The eager to become a professional architect and create poetic and impressive space is my dream and what I am striving for there years. I believe architecture can shape experience, and I am excited to create the experience that is moving. The very best architecture satisfies practical needs while continually challenging us to think outside of it.
