GEOSPATIAL ANALYSIS
Ontario Park Master Plan, KTUA, 2019 Data-Driven Prioritization Model
This is a recent application of a highly adaptable model that I have developed and applied for many projects. Specific criteria and thresholds are adjustable per client and public input. Each unit of the study area surface is given a score, aggregated from
weighted elements. This model has wide application to identify user propensity of certain urban facility, and has been an accurate guide for planning efforts.

INTERACTIVE DYNAMIC DATA APPLICATION
San Bernardino County Transportation Authority (SBCTA) Active Transportation Data Story, KTUA, 2019 The Active San Bernardino Open Data is a platform for local authorities to access useful county-wide data for studies, reports and planning documents as well as data-driven decision-making regarding the regional transportation system and the built environment. I designed this app as a dynamic data story, unfolding complex county-wide resources with six topics, accompanied by a user-configurable map, and user feedback survey. This app has been through public review and will go live this November. I am responsible for framework design, site-building and client communication from the beginning to date.

ACTIVE TRANSPORTATION PLANNING
Thousand Oaks Active Transportation Plan, KTUA, 2017 - 2019 As the planner and GIS manager in a team of three, I worked directly with the client and the principal during every stage of the project, responsible for maintaining the project database, developing varies spatial analyses, engaging local community, making data-informed recommendations and producing final planning documents.
Analysis Highlights
Understanding the Existing Network
Thousand Oaks is a scenic city in the northern Greater Los Angeles area. It has a wellestablished network of sidewalks bikeways, and transit system. However, US Route 101 and CA Highway 23 are dividing the city into quadrants and impeding non-motorized crossing through these huge barriers.
Existing Bike Network

miles
Level of Traffic Stress (LTS)
Although the city has a lot of bike facilities, most streets are wide and fast, and there are gaps at major intersections, making the network stressful for the general public.

OTHER GRAPHIC WORKS
KTU & A Planning and Landscape Architecture, 2017 - 2019 In addition, I research local demographic and traffic data, prepare reports and planning documents preparation using Illustrator, InDesign and 3D modeling in SketchUp.I also organize, attend and prepare materials for public outreach events. Graphic Design
I recently designed a project tracking tool simply using Google Sheet to help make our project management and weekly meeting more efficient. 3D Visualization
This is a graphic that I made to demonstrate what an ATP is about.
I created this proposal logo synthesizing the company strength, prepared presentations, and presented at interviews.

Onsite Workshop
Outreach Facilitation
I am actively involved in workshops, pop-up events and public meetings for all of my projects. Through explaining project purpose, listening to the residents, and build trust between residents are their city.
Create Living Plans
Below is an interactive map survey application I created as part of the outreach effort for an ATP project. Google search "Santa Ana Active Transportation Plan" or "Menifee Active Transportation Plan" to experience these interactive living plan that I created.
Project Tracking Tool
Knowing the "lifecycle" of most projects, I created a project tracking tool using Google Spreadsheet to facilitate efficient communication among team members. The team now uses this tool every week for internal meetings.

SINGAPORE HIGH-SPEED RAIL STATION AREA DEVELOPMENT Graduate Interdisciplinary Planning Studio, 2017
12
What will happen when a High-speed Rail terminal station lands on a serene suburban country club gulf course site? It is like a raindrop onto a still leaf that will shake the leaf and even the branch. It is also like throwing a pebble into a pond that will ignite a series of powerful rippling effect. This rippling effect will profoundly change the future of jurong next, West Singapore, the whole country and Southeast Asia. The innermost ripples are those that shape decisions about the future of the Jurong district, which the studio envisions being developed into five distinctive neighborhoods: Existing Conditions

SUSTIANABLE URBANISM IN BOGOTA, COLOMBIA Graduate URBAN RESILIENCY Planning Studio, 2016 Voto Nacional is a struggling neighborhood in Bogota, Colombia, suffering from an infamous reputation of crime, homeless, and lack of street life. We propose a pilot program that is a people-first, place-based and re-interprets the Laws of the Indies for the 21st Century, which prioritizes housing opportunities for people of all incomes; empowerment of women & children; safe & human-scale public realm; neighborhood & regional connectivity; economic opportunities that create wealth; and sustainable & green environment.

PHILADELPHIA NEIGHBORHOODS Graduate Planning Workshop, 2016
Southeast Philadelphia is a neighborhood featuring 36% foreign born population – mostly Asian immigrants and refugees. It lacks cohesive identity and centered a failing commercial corridor. We propose to establish a CDC committee, support homeownership, and promote both transportation and green connection.
Site Planning, 2016 The former Naval Hospital site is an approximately 30-acre vacant land. It is next to the Packer Park neighborhood, the Eagles Football Club, and FDR Park. Packer Park features cul-de-sacs, accommodation for auto circulation and parking, and green courtyards. We want to establish an urban village that extends this appealing fabric style while promoting pedestrian and bike access to excellent recreational opportunities within and adjacent to our site.

MID-TOWN REDEVELOPEMNT Undergraduate Urban Design, 2014
Midtown Champaign, situated between the city’s downtown and the University of Illinois campus, is an area in search of a vibrant and complete identity. A proposed neighborhood core – the Boneyard Vista – at the northern end of the Boneyard Creek has the potential to provide that unique identity for Midtown.
