About 

I'm Xiaoyu Liu, a recent Master in Urban Design graduate from Washington University in St. Louis. Currently, I'm looking for a urban design related job.

I am a experienced designer with a 6-year urban planning and design academic study background. I have developed deep understanding of urban design and cultivated essential professional skills to work as an urban designer. 

As a global designer, I have accomplished urban design projects in various social and culture background (as I list in my work sample). These on-site design experiences inspired me to create appropriate design for different places and have a better understanding of global urban design practices.

As a farsighted designer, I'm good at collecting infomation and predicting future trends of urban areas. Meanwhile, I especially focused a lot on sustainable design methods in my recent projects (Mending Kansas City and Triaxial Evolution) in Washington University.

As a versatile designer, I have mastered a series of site analyzing, problem solving and idea visualizing skills and know how to achieve them cost-effectively by using appropriate softwares. I know quite well about how to work both collaboratively or independently to accomplish design works cost-effectively with high quality. I'm willing to communicate with colleagues and clients to improve the products of team. Also, I'm a good adder in landscape and architecture projects since I'm always interested in them and they were often integrated in my design.

Thank you for viewing my introduction and welcome to contact me :)
