About 

I am currently an Associate and BIM Lead at Handel Architects. My experience includes participating in the design of a variety of projects in multiple cities. I recently served as BIM Lead and architectural designer for two mixed-use/hospitality, residential and office timber-structured buildings in Atlanta, GA with a total of 496-units. Prior to that I served as a BIM Lead and architectural designer for a 799-unit 2-towered residential development in Brooklyn. I also worked on exterior detailing for a 453-unit residential building in New York, and a 623-unit residential building in Washington DC. 

Before joining Handel Architects, I was a researcher at Tongji University Digital Design Center and Arch-Union in Shanghai, where I worked on projects ranging from researches on environmental design, building tech, parametric design and digital fabrications. 

I received my Master of Architecture degree with honors from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute Geo-Future program, Albany, and another Master and Bachelor degree in Architecture from Tongji University.
