With a Bachelor of Architecture professional degree from China and a Master degree in architecture from University of Pennsylvania, I have extensive knowledge of various aspects of architecture.
Building upon my academic foundation, I also have three years practical experience. Since 11/2022, I have worked in Boston where I designed and developed several residential, mixed-use and commercial projects, and gained rich experience in all phases of the process. Before my current job, I also gained experience by working on K-12, healthcare, cultural and hospitality projects.
I am proficient in using software such as Rhino, Revit, Sketch-Up, AutoCAD, Lumion, Enscape and Adobe Creative Suite, as well as laser cutting and 3D printing to build physical models.
