I am thrilled to see that your company is offering an internship opportunity.
As a recent graduate of South China University of Technology with a major in Environmental Design, I am eager to join Zhang Tang Landscape and contribute to your creative and impactful design projects.
Zhang Tang Landscape’s innovative approach and its deep understanding of the relationship between space and the environment deeply resonate with me. In particular, your focus on the social value of landscape design and the interaction between people and nature aligns closely with the design philosophy I pursued during my academic studies. Through this internship, I hope to apply my academic background and design skills to more challenging projects, learn how to solve real-world problems, and further develop my practical expertise.
Full-Time Internship Commitment: I am available for a 4 to 5-month full-time internship, during which I can fully focus on learning, practicing, and gaining valuable experience.
Bilingual Proficiency: I am fluent in both Chinese and English, which allows me to work effectively in crosscultural teams and participate in international design projects. (I scored 6.5 overall on the IELTS exam, with a 6 in speaking.)
Solid Academic Foundation: My studies have provided me with a deep understanding of the relationships between landscape, people, the environment, and society. I have also received several awards for my academic and design achievements during university. (Proof can be found in my portfolio.)
Strong Design Skills: I am proficient in using design software such as Rhino (including Grasshopper), Photoshop, Illustrator, and others, allowing me to efficiently express creative ideas and deliver precise design solutions. Flexible Work Attitude: I am capable of working independently and thrive in team environments. Whether tackling complex design problems or adapting to new work settings, I can respond flexibly and efficiently to meet project goals.
Why Zhang Tang Landscape?
I am deeply attracted to Zhang Tang Landscape’s philosophy of "harmony between humans and nature." The company’s outstanding achievements across multiple domains, as well as its commitment to social responsibility, make it the ideal platform for me to further my design aspirations. I look forward to the opportunity to work alongside visionary designers at Zhang Tang Landscape, not only to enhance my own design abilities but also to contribute my creativity and expertise.
My Goals:
By joining Zhang Tang Landscape, I hope to expand my design skills through exposure to diverse projects, particularly in tackling complex landscape, social, and environmental challenges. I also look forward to collaborating with team members from different cultural backgrounds, enriching my own design perspective, and creating innovative solutions that reflect both local characteristics and global insights. If given the opportunity to join your team, I will dedicate myself to contributing my creativity and professional skills while learning from the wealth of experience within Zhang Tang Landscape. I am excited about the possibility of discussing my application further and learning more about your company and its projects.
