I have cultivated a diverse experience in project typologies, stages and countries - from UK, SEA to PRC as well as the Middle east, working with various renown offices + teams.
I specialises in large scale urban design/landscape framework masterplan with a focus on climate resilience using elements of nature recovery/low impact developments, SUDS, urban greening, and sponge city/bluegreen infrastructure. I have led projects where i work closely with ecologist, environmentalist and engineers in various locations.
My experience in various well-established offices enabled me to cultivate advance skills in project planning + co-ordination, design lead, design project management + scheduling, team building, ensuring quality delivery to build the office portfolio for marketing, manage and ensure client’s satisfaction, as well as establishing workflow, strategic development, tender bid writings, as well as contract and billings.
I work closely with studio directors/operations to ensure the office visions and project visions are delivered to grow the company and team together.
I look forward to arranging an interview with your studio to further discuss this opportunity, to learn about your current needs, and share my works and experience; as well as how i can assist your office to grow together.

MY STORY
I was originally going to be an accountant, and then in college I thought I was going to be an architect. A few months into my grad school study, my professor told me I should go see James Corner and his landscape departments work. He said that my broad and systematic thinking would fit better as a landscape architect with James’s landscape teaching. That is how I went and got my dual degree.
I kept selected architecture in jobs until 2008 while in London I needed a job and I walked into Hargreaves where they just landed on their legacy project and their only staff quit during holidays.
I’ve enjoyed large scale landscape works since.
INTENT + VALUES
HEALTHY + OUTDOOR LIFESTYLE
In our fast pace stressful modern world and economy, it is important for the people to have public space to encourage outdoor activities and create a healthier lifestyle. This particularly applies to city of high population + density such as Hong Kong and cities of China. My landscape design intends to engage people and encourage them to go outdoor through provisions of variety of public spaces, from active to passive
PERMEABILITY + CONNECTIVITY OF CITY, PEOPLE, AND NATURE
Connectivity in any urban fabric has large influence on the quality and the social value of public space. Vast and open connected circulations + spaces often lead to heathier social spaces as they are accessible which leads to higher degree of social interactions.
Connectivity of people to the nature is also an important aspect in outdoor public realm designs as it creates a more natural environment for people.My landscape design intends to maximize both types of connectivity to create a socially and spatially connective environment for a healthy lifestyle
CLIMATE RESILIENT + RESPONSIVE DESIGN
Any outdoor spaces must be able to withstand its use over time, as well as any factors from nature. My landscape design utilizes these factors as opportunities in the design process and utilizes landscape elements to create a sustainable landscape, one that would endure human activities uses, protects and minimizes environmental impact, and maximize/ encourage biodiversity wherever possible.

BLUE GREEN INFRASTRUCTURE
We aim to create a Sustainable Water System + Sustainable New Town.
In creating that 3 key site wide strategy is proposed
SPONGE CITY STORM WATER TREATMENT STRATEGY 海绵城市暴雨处理策略
Water Inlet 进水口

湿地净水池

Greening Development is Key to the new town for a Sustainable City. It enhances ecology, al- lows for diversity of outdoor space, as well as serving as habitats for both people and nature
Key Greening Strategy :
1. Forest along riverside uplands
The water source for the city comes from two key reservoir in th region. Good quality water is channeled through the river and this quality must be maintained and promote biodiversity and ecology
We aim to achieve this by introducing sponge city

Jialu River, like a river scroll meandering east-west through 7 key administrative zones through the new Zhengzhou and ZhongMou areas. It serves as the key connective strand and serve as an important function to the Ecology, Culture and image of the area.
The existing river is a stream that is being harnessed into a controlled river. Our mission was to create an ecological riverside landscape on the two sides of the embankment. for the people of Zhengzhou. The landscape aims to promote an ecological and livable riverfront city imbued with a strong heritage and cultural identity.
Each zone is designed in context to the administrative area’s identity, cultural, and zone function as well as the heritage found on site. The character and identity of Zhongmou in particular is about having a big water effect and sponge city purification system to create a sustainable landscape

It is also important for the 6 zones to connect ecologically, and function as a resilient system to water conditions.
In this zone our design adapts sustainable design principles and detailed the sponge city in collaboration with the WUD team.
This system is deployed throughout the site, but this ecological zone in particular is designated to create a natural environment for both the nature and the people in Zhongmou.
