Architectural Designer
Innovating Spaces with Precision and Purpose
With a Master of Architecture degree from USC and over three years of professional experience, I bring a diverse background in design and technical execution to the architectural field. My career has spanned roles at SGA, Lead8 Hong Kong Limited, and MG2, where I contributed to mixed-use, retail, and commercial projects, gaining valuable experience in zoning, building codes, and construction administration. I am proficient in Revit, AutoCAD, SketchUp, and Adobe Creative Suite, with advanced skills in parametric design tools like Grasshopper and Dynamo, enabling me to deliver innovative, efficient design solutions. My passion lies in creating impactful, collaborative spaces that inspire and enrich lives, driven by a strong work ethic, attention to detail, and dedication to delivering exceptional results.
