With about two years of experience in design-oriented environment, I have participated all phases of creating code compliant designs to satisfy communities, clients and cities. Having lived and worked in Puget Sound Area, San Francisco Bay Area, New Orleans, Shanghai and Southeast China, the interaction between human and the environment fascinates Me. I always appreciate new opportunities that give me a chance to explore different aspects of the field, and to meet talented professionals.
