About 

I possess seven years of experience in Architecture. Five years for the bachelor degree in China and two years for the Master of Architecture in University of Michigan. My professional architectural background will be helpful and effective working as a Junior Architect. Besides the academic experience, I had a 3-month internship in a Provincial Architecture Design Institute in China. During that time I joined most levels of a project and learned a lot about the productive drawings. I also had a summer internship in Detroit for SmithgroupJJR who complete all of their projects in Revit. This experience balance my theoretic knowledge and my professional practical skills. Based on my experiences and together with my skills in drawing, modeling and rendering I possess are also helping in maximizing my performance so far.
