About 

I’m currently in my last semester of the Master of Architecture at Illinois Institute of Technology and I’ll be graduating this May. Recently, I worked at Studio Gang as an architectural intern for 8 months. My key responsibility there was making physical models in various design processes like initial concept study or mass study process and client presentation. I also worked for NO OFFICE Studio preparing for the exhibition and the competition. Previously, I majored in urban planning and industrial design, and I’ve used various digital and physical tools to visualize my projects.

I personally think my biggest strength is hand sketching and making visual outcomes such as graphic design or physical modeling. So I thought I can contribute a lot as an entry-level architectural designer and I’m looking for a role where I can use my experience and design skills both.
