My roles in the MRB Group are as an architectural designer and architectural visualization designer. Cooperating with other architects, my working content specifically involves 3D modeling by Revit and SketchUp in the design and construction phases, using Lumion and Photoshop to do rendering for completed and proposed projects for marketing needs, creating project sheets, and project proposal through Indesign for project bidding and organization. Governmental, transport, and civic projects are the main projects I touched in MRB Group, such as the highway department, visitor center, city hall, library, and park. Besides architectural design skills, my graphic and visualizing skills successfully help MRB illustrate different kinds of designs.
