" I am a recent graduate from the University of California Davis (UCD) with a B.S. in Landscape Architecture who excel in creative thinking and design strategies and work with proficiency on any projects that are assigned. By applying to an EntryLevel Landscape Designer position, I am looking forward to practicing the knowledge that I have acquired in the Landscape Architecture’s programs as well as experiencing professional working enviornment of variety of works and collaborations.

My priority interest and vision are to maximize natural integration into the public spaces in order to encourage human interactions with outdoor nature for the well-being of today’s stressful society."

OPENGROUND: MICRO-CONNECTIVITY NETWORKSOF THE FLOOD RESILIENT URBAN LANDSCAPE GroundLine is a re-imagine and repurpose the exixting site condition of overlooked Sacramento’s railyard zone to highlight the change of its sourrounding, especially along the waterfront zone to create micro-connectivity networks with a level of precision that was previously lacking with the lacking through the understanding of functionality and human behavior of the local. In addition to the connectivity, GroundLine also intergrates flood reilisent design and watermanagment as part of the layout and programing to increase the evacuation time for the lower elevation sites.

Mining industries of the late 1800s created ecological problems to the Sacramento River, such as an excess of sediment and heavy metal and aquatic species reduction. 20% of the urban waterfront zone are vacant and unattractive due to poor mantenance.

UNIVERSITY PARK| Tying Together a golalized network of acadamics professionals, coomunity and Nature with the future adaptation masterplan.

A5 Student Challenge Competition (Team Work): Krongkan Klabkaeo (UCD/Team Leader) Isabella Pereira (USP) Thomas Westhoff (WUR) Yubei Tang (HNU)

Location: Sanya, Hainan Chaina Date : 01/2021

Advisor: Jennifer Birkeland(Cornell) Mitch Glass ( Cornell)

Tying Together is an visionary campus plan inspired by the local and the surrounding environment of Hainan Island in the South of China. The goal for this conceptual plan is to provide a shared breeding ground for innovation and development for the five universities: China Agriculture University, Ocean University,Shanghai Jiao Tong University, Wuhan University, and Zhejiang University. Additionally, our main focus is to create interconnection within and beyond the campus and implement a design that serves as an example for the future socio-ecological sustainable University Park that ties the two major veins of Hainan, agriculture and water into one knot that is percolating through out the campus while maximizing the use of green spaces to promote local economies and human interactions with nature through the inspiration of a traditional Chinese tie (zi ran lv dong lian jie wei lai ).

Riverwalk | Water, A Part of th Culture The Wei Yang He Riverwalk Channel is located in the center of the University Park campus. Our goal for the Riverwalk is to promote social interaction among all users and visitors especially with the local community. The design is emphasizing the importance of the existing community and their traditions and lifestyle along the water. In our riverwalk area, there are social gathering venues, vendor stalls for the local community to utilize as well as water filtration and ecological habitat in this channel.

ART-CULATION ON THE GRID: Repurposing The Bypassing Lot On Grid is a collaborative exercise project between UC Davis’ Landscape Architecture Department and the City of Davis. From site visit, the current condition of the site is showing the majority of underutilized spaces with potential to improve bicycles facility, pedestrian enhancement and expanded open area for special events and gathering. Therefore, the focus of this project is to improve the physical connection of Estreet Plaza to the surrounding commercial zone to create a greater unified arts, entertainment, and cultural destination for the local residents and college students of all ages under the concept of ART-culation.

E Street Plaza | Current Site Condition + Movement Out of 2,484 jobs, 20 % is located with in the city. However, most of which are located along the main primary rentail streets of 2nd and 3rd Street corridors. of site and street are being underutilized due to ❶ Part the unfinshed construction on road work and other

3 Degree Chair With the simple morfern appearance, the 3 degree chair is inspired by the cube. The use of thin frame structure adds an industrial feel while elastic fabric strips adding playfullness and flexibility for all weight. Aside from the appearance, the 3 degree chair allows users to sit in 3 different positions to accommodate activities such as dinning, working, or laying for relaxation.
