// SELF-INTRODUCTION
CURRICULUM VITAE
Raised among the animated trees of Canada, I was nurtured as a child of opportunist values and curiosity. Fascinated by the constructs of the world in both the material and philosophical sense. I am enthusiastic about the appreciation of liberal aesthetics as well as the practical and dogmatic ways of living. Similarly, I believe an all-rounded diverse architect should envelope both talents in his artistic senses as well as his eagerness to structure well its administrative and technical requirements.

My architectural background has been of the same diversity. I received my bachelor at the University of Hong Kong in the Dean’s Honours List and completed my Masters of Architecture in Environmental Design at the University of Calgary under the honour of Alberta Graduate Student Award. The two very strong programs distinctively differ in its favour of conceptual discourse and digital fabrication. I am also found vast in my professional experience: from local corporates in Hong Kong to boutique firm in Canada, from an Assistant Project Manager at a managerial company to a Designer at 10Design. All of these professional tenures have significantly broadened my horizons in this industry, and I avidly wish your team would be the summit of my journey. In my prospect future, I want to explore more of the world as an Architect, a Designer and a Blogger. To meet people with dedication and ambition, and to inspire each other with ideas and theories. I love to share my ideas, my visions and what I know with the world, in hope the world will bring me adventures I have yet to learn.
