I am a Taiwanese qualified architect and urban designer with eight years of professional experience across Asia and Europe. My multidisciplinary background spans architecture, urban design, government, project management and construction, giving me a broad understanding of the built environment from both strategic and practical perspectives.
Driven by curiosity and a desire to explore architecture beyond individual buildings, I pursued a Master's degree in Urban Design and International Planning at the University of Manchester. My research focused on sustainability, walkability, urban permeability and the relationship between public space and development value. I am particularly interested in how thoughtful planning, efficient land use and the balance between public and private interests can create places that are both socially valuable and commercially successful.
Throughout my career, I have contributed to large-scale residential towers, mixed-use developments, public infrastructure and urban regeneration projects. My experience covers early feasibility studies, planning and design development, multidisciplinary coordination, technical detailing and construction delivery. In the UK, I have developed further expertise in Building Regulations, the Building Safety Act, Gateway 2 submissions and technical coordination on major residential developments. This combination of experience allows me to connect ambitious design ideas with the practical requirements of bringing them to life.
I have always enjoyed understanding how things work, from the wider economic and urban systems that shape development to the materials and technical details that make buildings function. With strong analytical and mathematical skills, I naturally consider design efficiency, construction costs, regulatory requirements and long-term value alongside architectural quality. Working across different countries and disciplines has taught me to approach projects both horizontally, understanding the relationships between people, places, disciplines and commercial considerations, and vertically, exploring each project from its strategic vision through to technical execution.
I believe good design should go beyond visual appearance. It should respond to its environment, improve everyday experiences, make responsible use of resources and create lasting value for both people and places. My ambition is to bring together creative thinking, technical knowledge and commercial awareness to deliver projects that are sustainable, practical and meaningful.
Beyond professional practice, I enjoy attending talks, seminars and discussions across London, exploring emerging technologies, artificial intelligence, new research and the future of our cities. I am fascinated by how the world may change over the next year, the next twenty years and beyond. This curiosity continues to shape how I think, question established approaches and imagine new possibilities for the built environment.
