Architectural Identity
I am an emerging architectural designer exploring how ecological histories, cultural narratives, and everyday rituals shape contemporary spatial experience.
Background
Growing up across different cultural and geographic contexts - from China to Melbourne - I developed a sensitivity to how spaces carry memory, identity, and values. This experience shaped my interest in reading landscapes, questioning dominant narratives, and designing spaces that acknowledge both visible and invisible heritage.
Design Philosophy
My work focuses on the relationship between architecture, landscape, and cultural memory. I am particularly interested in how design can respond to Indigenous knowledge and site environments.
My approach is research-driven and diagrammatic, often beginning with mapping, field observation, and material testing to uncover spatial potentials embedded in land and history. I believe architecture should act as a mediator, between people and place, past and present, environment and culture.
Core Strengths
-
Conceptual and research-based design thinking
-
Diagrammatic communication & spatial narratives
-
Passive environmental strategies

Landscape–architecture integration
-
Material experiments with light, soil, and lightweight construction
-
Community and cultural engagement
Current Focus & Future Direction
I am currently completed the Master of Architecture at the University of Melbourne, and worked in culturally sensitive design, environmental strategies, and community-oriented spaces.
I am particularly interested in opportunities within public, cultural, and landscape-integrated architecture where design can contribute to more resilient and meaningful places.
