About 

I worked Urban Planning field in 2 years and half in Korea. During those years, I’ve
worked on large-scale projects such as commercial district master planning, mix-used residential buildings, commercial buildings and public park planning as well as small-scale buildings such as high-end residences interior designs.

I am an expert at using urban design and planning tools such as Auto CAD, Revit, Sketch-up, 3D MAX, Adobe Suites etc.

Since 2014, I’ve worked in Samwon Design and Build, Inc with various projects. Especially in Tentative Development Plan For Golf Range And Commercial Complex at Tustin, CA I made Conceptual Design, Concept Design, and Master Plan. So I’m familiar with construction process, details and field-works in CA.

I’m a team player and very fast leaner who’s self-motivated and able to multitask. With all the skills and experiences mentioned above, I assure you that I will be a hard-working employee in your company.
I am an organized, efficient, and detail-oriented individual with experience communicating ideas in a variety of group situations. One of my primary career goals is to be in a position where I can integrate sustainability design principles with urban planning and development. As such, I can facilitate individual and organizations, in the creation of environment and structures that contribute to the well being of an entire community.
