Sugar Hill, GA

In my previous work, I participated in bidding projects and often have to face sudden changes. The unreachable designer and the upcoming deadline became my first adventure with interior design. Since that day, I have been indulging in the beauty of plan design. I am a fast learner, an employee with a strong sense of responsibility, and a person who always tries to do his job impeccably.

Tiny House

About how many rooms can fit in a 500-square-foot interior space? A two-car garage? Two master bedrooms? A studio apartment? How about a full-size luxury house with one and a half bathrooms and a master bedroom? Within 500 square feet of interior space, a two-story house with parking space and a terrace is the tiny house I present. The “Sherwood” is named after my inspiration, the oil painting “Sherwood” by the graffiti master, Zhanliang Chen. The tiny house with a 20-foot-high wall decorated in graffiti as the axis is representative of aesthetics, functionality, and minimalism.

Universal Design

The project goal is to build a dream home for Sam and Linda Green that accommodates their family and guests, including Linda‘s father, Jack, who uses a wheelchair. The house should feel cozy and intimate for everyday living but also be spacious enough to host large parties and family gatherings. The design should avoid using yellow to accommodate Sam's preference while creating a happy and bright atmosphere to satisfy Linda's desires.

Dental Office

The objective of this project is to design the interior of a new construction building purchased by "Lake Lanier Family Dental Care" to provide a welcoming, functional, and attractive space for patients and staff. The design will also ensure that the requirement of different rooms is met and that the restrooms are designed in compliance with ADA regulations. The goal is to deliver an interior design that meets the client's expectations and ensures a positive experience for everyone.

Coffee Shop (Revision)

Driven by my passion for a duplex building structure, I transformed the single-story coffee shop into a duplex without altering the original exterior wall dimensions. The interior space design prioritizes meetingADA standards while enhancing natural light and mitigating excessive sunlight through carefully curated window treatments. The coffee shop's theme centers around book reading, with distinct designated areas serving different purposes to elevate the customer experience and increase leisure and work efficiency. My ultimate goal is to create an elegant, comfortable, and book-filled coffee shop that appeals to a broader customer base and enhances overall customer satisfaction.
