I have obtained both master of architecture and bachelor degree in science (arch) from McGill University, Canada. I have kept exploring my ability as designer by participating various creative team works, researching architecture in different scales and fields, and experiencing practical architecture through internships. On a personal level, I consider myself to be passionate, hard-working, creative, and never satisfied with myself. I have always been eager to seek for new experiences, to meet challenges, and explore my potentials as an architect.
