Originally from Malaysia who studied communication design and interior design for 3 years in Raffles International College and The One Academy. I believe this is where I get my diverse multi-cultural background. In 2008, I came to the United States to pursue my career dream to become an Interior Designer in studies at Harrington College of Design. In 2010, I graduated with a BFA in Interior Design, and in 2013 I received my Master in Interior Design. All through my time at Harrington College of Design, I was fortunate enough to tutor and share my technical expertise and creativity with my peers. With this experience, it has helped elevate my leadership skill in the industry. All this knowledge has led me to discover the thrill of creating, and the pleasure of working in the design industry.

Upper Level Oyster Bar
Fredrick’s (Currently in Development)
Located in Lakeview, Fredrick’s is a bi-level oyster and cocktail bar in the former Adult Fantasy space on North Broadway. This 4000 square foot eccentric space will hold approximately 100 occupants. The narrowed-ground level will have about 20 seats and a bar, while the lower level will hold a total of about 70 seats at a bar and at tables. This oyster bar planned for Lakeview may have a twist when it opens: homemade wine.

Morgan Park Academy
A schematic design for a fund-raising event to grand current and future students to have a more improved learning environment, which helps cultivate personal integrity and social responsibility. Also, setting a mission that allows students to develop creatively and intellectually, while preserving the historic architectural and interior details allows the school board to carry on its significant legacy.

New art classroom will allow students to learn in a fun and bright but low-maintenance environment. The expansion of the classroom will also enable instructors to have more storage area for art supplies and extra space for pin-up boards to showcase students' artwork.
The update of the cafeteria will bring in a warmer environment yet retain the notion of historic preservation and identity of the academy. The new layout will also provide better circulation during breaktime. The update will enable this space to serve as an event space for the other occasions as well. 21

INFINITY CENTER A Declaration of Interdependence The Infinity Center is an intellectual retreat that brings together people from all walks of life into a shared space that actively facilitates the exchange and development of new ideas. Using the uninterrupted continuity of the infinity symbol to inform the overall design strategy. The project’s architecture is a direct expression of the internal wayfinding strategy. This project was completed in collaboration with Julia Hamer, Katherine Lee, and Giao Pho.

Development
The Infinity Center is an intellectual retreat that brings together people from all walks of life into a shared space that actively facilitates the exchange and development of new ideas. Using the uninterrupted continuity of the infinity symbol to inform the overall design strategy. The projects architecture is a direct expression of the internal wayfinding strategy. In thinking about the conception of interdependence, flow, and clarity of space, the conception of using the
64
infinity sign was formed as the primary source of inspiration. Not only does the infinity symbol embody the philosophical basis for the project, it is also the foundation of the overall way-finding strategy.
Contextual Relationships
complexity
human being
Humans are becoming more and more connected to one another by technology and social networking, and although it can sometimes be isolating, it also has made us more linked to people we normally wouldn’t be. The notion of “Interdependence” is most clearly expressed in nature; much like our technological networks, the human neural system is a highly complex organic system with components that are either physically or functionally connected in order to accomplish various tasks and create systems of output. Much like a biological system of hyper-linking, neural networks are connected through a series of synapses that facilitate the exchange of information between
social-network
architecture
the independent bodies. This “network” principal is expressed through a webbing pattern that will be implemented in various parts of the overall site of the project. It serves both aesthetic and structural purposes, and is used in several applications as a type of landmark pattern to orient visitors throughout the site. The center’s secondary wayfinding systems will also be modeled on these networks in order to allow stakeholders to move through interior and exterior spaces freely in a manner that enriches the development of new thought and encourages collaboration. 65
Grand Traverse Bay, MI
66
Site The project is situated in the serene expanse of Grand Traverse Bay in Northern Michigan; a region not particularly known for its multiculturalism, but filled with creative thinkers and intellectual individuals on vacation. We often think of the great lakes as independent bodies of water, but in fact, they are a highly interdependent system. They all share water, flow, and resources, and are ultimately connected to the Atlantic ocean and therefore the rest of the world through the Saint Lawrence seaway. Just like the lakes, the Infinity Center is ought to have separate interior and exterior programs that are still somehow dependent on other programs both structurally and functionally.

Hyper-linking & Interactive Technology way-finding handheld device
All floors of the building contain embedded paths that will be digitally customized for each user upon their arrival. Their initials will be translated into pre-cognitive generative graphics that will essentially direct them to wherever it is they need to go throughout their day at their conference. A digital handheld device will also be handed to each guest and will be programmed with all of their essential information, including their daily itineraries,
68
meeting topics, menus, library catalogs, and activities that might be of interest to them both at the center and onshore. When the center is at capacity, the idea is that the many pathways will interact and flow together to create a dynamic and constantly changing piece of art.
welcome center - interior
In addition to the handheld devices visitors receive when they arrive, the facility will be equipped with LED-screens that are programmed with each attendee’s travel and business itineraries, stock exchange updates, customizable music, menus, weather forecasts, site activities, directory, transportation information, as well as items they might be interested in in the library. It will be on the same server as the handheld devices, so the entire system is linked and customizable. It exists to make the visitor’s entire experience as streamlined and free-flowing as possible. 71
electric train station
Interactive LED-screens are featured throughout the center that contain vital information, including train schedules, daily menus, events, and weather information. The Infinity Conference Center is clearly visible in the distance; this is an intentional placement, further highlighting the transparency of the system as a whole. While visitors orient themselves, the Infinity Conference Center will always be visible, and will allow them to begin orienting themselves with their surroundings and the experiences to come.From the welcome center, visitors then are directed to the electric train station where they board the trains that will take them to the main center itself. The train is located at water level, and will provide a seamless, direct, and transparent mode of transportation that will help the stakeholders to better orient themselves with the conference center, as well as their natural surroundings.
