When I was really young, maybe five or six years old, my family built up a new cottage. One night, my grandfather asked me what I want to be when I grow up, “ I want to build up buildings.” Since then, the shine of stars that night, the naive but firm voice led me to be excellent through all my student age, and eventually I choose to learn Architecture in Tongji University, the first step of my future life.
I studied in Tongji, Shanghai, then be an intern in JWDA and worked in DC Alliance for 2.5 years. Thanks to my professors, supervisor, and teamleader, they guided me to be a more and more professional architectural designer.
Since the end of 2016, I started to work in LADS, I accepted to be there because they had a interesting architecture project, later more and more interior project came. Though I was not professional on this area,and actually pushing forward was really tough at the beginning, but after I strived hard on the first project and gradually I can do well in interior now.Last December, I went back to China, back to my hometown,when I stood in front of that old and almost worn out cabin, I could still feel the shining star that night, hear the young voice over decades of time.
After I came back to US, I started to make up my portfolio, reviewing the projects I did makes me became much more confident and firm: I have lost my pride and was humble since the first time I came to New York, but now, the young and naive teenager is coming back.
