About

Architecture has always been more than a subject of interest to me. Instead, it is a way of observing the world and the profession that I am pursuing in the long term. As a Master of Architecture student at the University of Adelaide and a student member of the Architectural Society of China, I bridge the gap between large-scale urban planning and meticulous architectural design. With a solid foundation in Urban and Rural Planning, I bring a holistic perspective to my work, focusing on how spatial planning and architectural form intersect to create vibrant environments. My journey includes internships at top national institutes and a portfolio of national award-winning designs. Having participated in international academic programs in Japan and Singapore, I am committed to exploring sustainable architecture and innovative urban design. I thrive in interdisciplinary collaborations and am dedicated to contributing to the built environment on a global scale.
